New litigation filed in 'ghost prisoner' rendition case. Reprieve press release, 19.8.09. The charity, Reprieve, has formally launched a legal action in the British High Court and the Supreme Court of the British Indian Ocean Territory on behalf of 'ghost prisoner', Mohammed Saad Iqbal Madni. “Seized in Jakarta in January 2002, Mohammed Saad Iqbal Madni was rendered to torture and incommunicado detention in Cairo via Diego Garcia, an island under the legal auspices of Britain, and subsequently held in Bagram and Guantánamo Bay. By the time he was finally released without charge on 31st August 2008, Mr Madni was unable to walk unaided and continues to suffer debilitative psychological scarring from his ordeal.” The action was taken after the British government failed to respond to enquiries.
