The British government became a partner in the US programme of extraordinary rendition even after learning that it involved the torture of detainees, the Guantánamo files show.
Most of the British nationals who were detained at the prison camp on Cuba were consigned there only after ministers and senior officials in London had been warned that the abuses were occurring.
Most of the former British residents who spent years at Guantánamo were also sent there after the point at which UK authorities became aware of the torture.
The disclosure contradicts claims by senior figures in the last Labour government that the UK had become involved in rendition only because they were slow to understand what the Americans were doing.

With most countries and communities in violation, it seems that the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has become the main voice to support universal brotherhood and equal rights for all homo-sapiens. I believe that the universality of human rights is really anchored in the last pilgrimage of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, may peace be on him:

We did not need such torture cells in the first place if nations could refer to the text of the Last Sermon of the Holy Prophet Mohammad.
