    Default Britain, MI6 and the Belhaj case: the outstanding questions

    Jut where the UK government stands on this issue for a moment became clearer last week; when I say issue that is torture and rendition in this instance:
    The attorney general, watched by Boudchar and her son from the Houses of Commons public gallery, read out a letter from UK Prime Minister Theresa May in which she apologised unreservedly for the “harrowing experiences” suffered.
    The prime minister’s statement read: It is clear that you were both subjected to appalling treatment and that you suffered greatly … The UK government believes your accounts. Neither of you should have been treated in this way.
    (The author ends with) In the UK, letters of apology are welcome but where is the official inquiry into claims of ill-treatment and rendition by Britain’s spies?

    Methinks there is an assumption this will simply "go away". It might, but I expect it will not.
