Hague urges Miliband to bring the Binyam Mohamed case to an end


William Hague has called on David Miliband to "do the right thing" and ask the Obama Administration for the right to release information on Binyam Mohamed's treatment.

This follows a ruling from the High Court giving the Foreign Secretary one final opportunity to present evidence to the Court on Mr Mohamed's treatment. The Court will then reconsider whether it will publish those details.

William has said that David Miliband must "stop prevaricating and bring this saga to an end", adding:

"The Foreign Secretary's refusal to take this simple step is baffling and does nothing to dispel allegations of Britain's complicity in torture or the Government's attempt to cover it up."

And he stressed, "There is a need for clarity and a need to draw a line under this case."
