Binyam Mohamed

Binyam Mohamed was taken prisoner by US forces in Afghanistan in 2003 and rendered to Guantanamo Bay in 2004. He was released without charge and returned to the UK as a free man in February 2009. [1]

Mohamed is currently (July 2010) pressing a civil action in the UK courts against the UK government alleging complicity in his torture and secret rendition.

After prolonged argument in the court, with the government and its security services strenuously opposed to their release, a series of documents were finally released to the public on 12 July 2010. The following is a list of links to pdf files of those documents held on the WikiSpooks site. The file names are fairly descriptive of content and there is additional information including file sizes at each of the links:
