UK pays £2.2m to settle Libyan rendition claim

[Gerald]

The UK government has agreed to pay £2.2m to a Libyan dissident and his family who say MI6 was involved in their illegal rendition.

Sami al-Saadi and his family were forcibly transferred to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's Libya in 2004.

Their lawyers say the pay-out ends the family's legal action against the UK, in which they were arguing MI6 was instrumental in their kidnap.

The UK still faces a further allegation of rendition from another Libyan.

Mr al-Saadi was a leading Gaddafi opponent and says that he was forced on board a plane in Hong Kong, along with his wife and four children, in a joint UK-US-Libyan operation.

Why?
Is the news always too confusing for you to form views on any of it?

Could be so...

Look on the bright side Vendor, by not expresing your views there is no way you can wander down the road of insanity like sky has where you have to constantly make up the silliest lies just to pretend to yourself that your views really make sense

As for the topic, I bet the British people wish their government would justpay up more often, after all whenever they try and avoid paying up it just drags it out for years leaving a bigger stain on the nation and a financial cost to their taxpayers which is many times greater than the initial compensation would have been.
Though perhaps some would really prefer their government to stop foolishly breaking laws, or at least stop getting caught foolishly breaking laws all the time.
