RELEASE
OF BINYAM MOHAMED
Published: 23/02/09 12.00
Mr.
Mohammed Shafiq, Chief Executive of the Ramadhan Foundation comments:
“I welcome the release of Binyam
Mohamed from captivity and his arrival this afternoon in the UK.
Whilst we thank the British Government for their work in getting him
released we are still disturbed by the serious allegations of collusion
in the torture that Binyam was subjected to under US Government
detention.
There is now an urgent need for a
full and open public inquiry into the allegations and the circumstances
of British involvement, there can be no acceptance of torture as
underlined by the Geneva Convention.
David Milliband must act now and
set up an inquiry or if he fails to do this then the message the world
gets is that the British government have something to hide.”
END
