Binyam Mohamed – Guantanamo victim of US and UK torture is released.

The US and UK habitually lie about their involvement in torture and kidnapping leading to torture (extraordinary rendition as it’s called). Their lies are utterly offensive to even the most simple observer of the news.

But the US and UK have ALWAYS lied about virtually all of the nasty things they have been involved with for over 100 years. Their lies have gotten so bad and so common that now, when I hear a government press statement, I automatically ‘reverse’ what they are saying and arrive much closer to the truth on many occasions.

Even today the pro-Zionist British Foreign Secretary (arguably the UK’s third-most powerful politician) who claims to be Jewish, said:

“The government abhors torture and does not order or condone it”source

A total lie of course. Lets do the ‘reverse’ exercise to get at the truth…

“The [British] government loves torture, and can’t practice it enough!” – David Milliband, decoded.

The former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan, Mr. Craig Murray, was sacked because he spoke out against torture and Britain’s involvement in it. And it’s not just on the torture issue where the Brits spout their evil lies. Here’s some more lies, exposed by my favourite journalist John Pilger, about the nightmare of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.

“I confirm,” Thatcher wrote to opposition leader Neil Kinnock, “that there is no British government involvement of any kind in training, equipping or co-operating with Khmer Rouge forces or those allied to them.” The lie was breathtaking.On June 25, 1991, the Major government was forced to admit to parliament that the SAS had been secretly training the “coalition”. source

I propose a new set of encyclopedia: “Encyclopedia ‘Lie Britannicia’ – one thing’s for sure the amount of material would in all likelihood fill numerous volumes.

It is a never ending source of deep frustration and anger that British people continue to support the wholly rotten establishment of British power (including that of the slimy Monarchy).

But lets get back to the torture issue. Binyam Mohamed was a victim of Guantanamo Bay torture prison, and is one of the latest people released – just a few days ago – and tells his story via his lawyer. Guantanamo Bay is of course, the prison which this very day is still torturing its captives, in defiance of anything remotely associated with humanistic values….

 Worse Than My Darkest Nightmare

As I gain my freedom, I am determined that neither those who remain in detention, nor their abusers, are forgotten past.”

By Binyam Mohamed
binyam-mohamed

February 24, 2009 “The Guardian” – – I hope you will understand that after everything I have been through, I am neither physically nor mentally capable of facing the media on the moment of my arrival back to Britain. Please forgive me if I make a simple statement through my lawyer. I hope to be able to do better in days to come, when I am on the road to recovery.

I have been through an experience that I never thought to encounter in my darkest nightmares. Before this ordeal, “torture” was an abstract word to me. I could never have imagined that I would be its victim. It is still difficult for me to believe that I was abducted, hauled from one country to the next, and tortured in medieval ways – all orchestrated by the United States government.

While I want to recover, and put it all as far in my past as I can, I also know I have an obligation to the people who still remain in those torture chambers. My own despair was greatest when I thought that everyone had abandoned me. I have a duty to make sure that nobody else is forgotten.

I am grateful that, in the end, I was not simply left to my fate. I am grateful to my lawyers and other staff at Reprieve, and to Lt Col Yvonne Bradley, who fought for my freedom. I am grateful to the members of the British Foreign Office who worked for my release. And I want to thank people around Britain who wrote to me in Guantánamo Bay to keep my spirits up, as well as to the members of the media who tried to make sure that the world knew what was going on. I know I would not be home in Britain today, if it were not for everyone’s support. Indeed, I might not be alive at all.

I wish I could say that it is all over, but it is not. There are still 241 Muslim prisoners in Guantánamo. Many have long since been cleared even by the US military, yet cannot go anywhere as they face persecution. For example, Ahmed bel Bacha lived here in Britain, and desperately needs a home. Then there are thousands of other prisoners held by the US elsewhere around the world, with no charges, and without access to their families.

And I have to say, more in sadness than in anger, that many have been complicit in my own horrors over the past seven years {lwtc247’s emphasis}. For myself, the very worst moment came when I realised in Morocco that the people who were torturing me were receiving questions and materials from British intelligence. I had met with British intelligence in Pakistan. I had been open with them. Yet the very people who I had hoped would come to my rescue, I later realised, had allied themselves with my abusers.

I am not asking for vengeance; only that the truth should be made known, so that nobody in the future should have to endure what I have endured. Thank you.

This is the statement issued by Binyam Mohamed on his return to the UK.

All quiet on the western front


Quiet that is when it comes to
Binyam Mohamed.

He’s the torture victim that the British and Yanks plied their trade upon. The jumped up little prick (a.k.a. Brit foreign sec. David Milliband) was ordered to release British documents about Binyam’s torture and kidnap. But the deadline Read my earlier post here (which was a simple modification of presstv.ir article)

The court has given Foreign Secretary David Miliband until September 5 to reconsider its application for an order banning the disclosure of the evidence.

But I’ve not heard anything. Is that moose Jo Moore working for the neoLabour government again then?

Miliband in trouble over torture case

Dangerous torture advocate and jumped-up little prick UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband
A High Court has given the Foreign Office a week to defend its refusal to reveal evidence that a UK resident was tortured in Guantanamo.

Binyam Mohamed won a High Court ruling on Thursday that the government should disclose documents which could prove his innocence from the terror charges laid against him.

The Foreign Office called for an order banning the disclosure of the information although the court had said in the ruling that the evidence was ‘not only necessary but essential’ for Mohamed’s defense.

The court has given Foreign Secretary David Miliband until September 5 to reconsider its application for an order banning the disclosure of the evidence.

The Thursday ruling has shed new light on Britain’s secret cooperation with the US in the kidnap and torture of alleged terror suspects.


Mohamed says his confessions were obtained through torture.

The charity organization Reprieve, which has represented Mohamed in Guantanamo, said the ruling was ‘a momentous decision’ which came despite ‘the strong US desire that this information not be disclosed’.

In an email read out in court, a legal adviser to the US State Department had said that any further disclosure of information would cause ‘serious and lasting damage’ to security relations between Washington and London.

Mohamed’s solicitor Richard Stein said that the judgment reflected “the abhorrence of decent society at the methods employed by the United States government in the supposed ‘war on terror’.”

The 30-year-old Mohamed, an Ethiopian who came to Britain as an asylum seeker in 1994, says the documents reveal that his charges are based on confessions obtained through torture and ill-treatment.

Mohamed was arrested in Pakistan in 2002 and secretly moved to Morocco, where he says he was tortured during the 18 months he spent there.

He was then flown to an alleged CIA-run site in Afghanistan before being taken to Guantanamo Bay in 2004, where he has been awaiting trial.
