British Law Lords Considering “Torture” Evidence
The Law Lords have been asked to rule if Britain can use evidence against terror suspects that may have been obtained by torture in other countries.
The Court of Appeal ruled last year that such evidence was usable if UK authorities had no involvement.
But 10 terror suspects being held without charge, backed by human rights groups, are challenging that ruling.
They argue such evidence obtained in US detention camps should be excluded. The Home Office would not comment.
