Torture row: PM to make MI5 rules on interrogation public
Published Date: 19 March 2009

THE rules governing the interrogation of suspects by spies and soldiers will be published after Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister, attempted to quell the furore over torture allegations.

The Prime Minister has ordered that the interview procedures of MI5 and MI6 be open to scrutiny following complaints by Binyam Mohamed, a British resident, that the UK intelligence services had been complicit in his "medieval torture".

The government will also appoint a former senior judge, Peter Gibson, as an Intelligence Security Commissioner, to make sure the rules – which will ban torture – are being followed, Mr Brown said. He will report to the Prime Minister every year.

In a statement to parliament, Mr Brown said that he wanted "to protect the reputation of our security and intelligence services" and that Britain condemned torture "without reservation".
