British prosecutors have announced no charges will be brought against MI6 officials who took part in a joint CIA operation targeting a Libyan dissident and his wife. In 2004, Abdul-Hakim Belhaj and his pregnant wife were secretly detained at a secret CIA prison in Thailand and then rendered to Libya, where they were jailed and tortured in one of Muammar Gaddafi’s prisons. Belhaj’s wife Fatima Boudchar spoke to the BBC.

Fatima Boudchar: “My hands and legs were tied, and my eyes were covered. They injected me with something. I didn’t know where I was going. I was six months’ pregnant. I was so scared that I was going to die.”

Details of the MI6’s role in the CIA operation emerged after Human Rights Watch found documents related to the case in Libya after the fall of Gaddafi’s government.
