HUMAN rights group members gathered outside Downing Street today to renew their call for an independent judge-led inquiry into Britain’s involvement in torture and rendition.
Representatives of Amnesty International, Freedom From Torture, Liberty and Reprieve delivered a 27,000-signature petition to Theresa May demanding she restore her predecessor David Cameron’s broken promise to hold an inquiry into British complicity in the use of torture by the US.
