"Cori Crider, Reprieve strategic director and a lawyer for the Belhaj and Saadi families, said: “MI6 helped kidnap my clients and 'rendered' them to Gaddafi's dungeons - but the security services' misdeeds didn't stop there. We now know that each security service has at least a policy on their interception of privileged lawyer-client conversations – policies they claim are ‘too secret’ to disclose."
