Binyam: 'People higher up involved'
Updated on 16 October 2009
Responding to today's high court decision that US documents with details of his alleged torture can be released, Binyam Mohamed tells Channel 4 News "people higher up, maybe all the way to 10 Downing Street, involved themselves in this case".
Interviewed by Channel 4 News, Binyam Mohamed said: "We're trying to find justice and its becoming very hard especially when politicians are trying to cover for themselves or others.
"The way things are going I don’t see them being public. I'm not sure what is in the paragraphs but it must be something that is really scaring the American or the British government.
Mohamed asserted: "Today's judgement was really good because it shows that the struggle between the courts and the government has come to the point where justice actually prevails.
"And if the judges and the courts saw that there is no threat too national security as the government is saying then the questions remains - what's really interesting? What interests the government in not releasing information which has been classified as a non-threat.
"I'm pretty sure that in those seven paragraphs there is a way to find out who ordered the rendition flight and who ordered the interrogation which occurred.
"I don’t think its got anything to do with MI5 agents and even though MI5 agents are being blamed and will probably take the blame. I think really there's people higher up - maybe probably all the way to 10 Downing Street - who involved themselves in this case and they are trying to cover that up."
