MI5 officers 'outsourced the torture of British nationals to Pakistani agencies'

MI5 officers 'outsourced the torture of British nationals to Pakistani agencies'

MPs have called for an investigation into allegations that MI5 officers "outsourced" the torture of British citizens to Pakistani security agencies.

John McDonnell, Labour MP for Hayes and Harlington, and Andrew Tyrie, Conservative member for Chichester, have said that the reports of abuse must be examined by the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC), which oversees the security agencies.

A Home Office official has said that MI5 agents "do not participate in, solicit, encourage or condone the use of torture or inhumane or degrading treatment."

But details of three new alleged abuse cases have raised concerns for Mr McDonnell and Mr Tyrie.

My inclination is to accept that this has happened, on the basis that when the prison authorities wished to teach a long-term prisoner a lesson they would transfer him to a Local Prison where a beating could be carried out without fear of repercussions.
