The British High Court is claiming US government threats have prevented it from revealing details on the alleged torture of a Guantanamo Bay prisoner. On Wednesday, two senior judges said they are unable to release key information, because the US has threatened to end intelligence sharing with Britain. The British attorney general is considering whether to bring charges against Americans involved in the rendition and alleged torture of British resident Binyam Mohamed. Mohamed claims his confession to terrorism charges was given only after he had his penis sliced by a blade. The Bush administration has refused to release key documents to Mohamed’s lawyers and said efforts to obtain them would cause “serious and lasting damage” to US-British relations and jeopardize British “national security.” In its new ruling, the British High Court said it reluctantly caved to US threats, because disobeying them would mean putting the British public “at risk.” Mohamed’s attorney, Clive Stafford Smith, said, “For the [British] foreign secretary to give in to these illegal demands by the Bush administration is capitulation to blackmail, pure and simple.”
