Guantanamo detainee in court battle
A British resident facing a military trial in Guantanamo Bay is due to launch a legal battle to force the release of evidence allegedly held by the UK Government.
Lawyers acting for Binyam Mohamed, who is accused of terrorism offences, say there are strong grounds for believing the UK security and intelligence services hold the evidence, said to support his claim that he was the victim of extraordinary rendition and horrific torture.
But the Government is refusing to release it. The two-day hearing starts before Lord Justice Thomas and Mr Justice Lloyd Jones at the High Court in London.
