A meeting with the cia. As it plans to invade Saddam Husseins iraq in 2003 the u. S. Needed to prepare Public Opinion for the attack getting libya on govt is key to that strategy. But the iraq war went badly for the western allies. No evidence of dangerous weapons was found and the lack of a postwar strategy plunged the country into calles. Gadhafi then seized the moment in a dramatic bid to ingratiate himself with the west and have sanctions on libya lifted he claimed to have w m ds and offered to surrender them. Desperate to put a positive spin on their mission to destroy weapons in the middle east the u. S. And u. K. Led the way in rehabilitating gadhafi almost overnight. Libya was no longer. Part of the axis of evil. In return a Lucrative Oil and gas deal was signed and it was then that the cia and m i 6 began increasing their rendition of libyan dissidents to the gadhafi regime. In a vehicle that out of a 0. For a valuable advice. But its now thought the relationship between the head of the e. S. O. And western intelligence went back much earlier than the aftermath of the 2003 invasion of iraq the problem between the 2 states gathered pace after 911. British intelligence held a meeting with mr koussa in the week after 911 and the following November November 2000 a well british and libyan Intelligence Officers held a summit over several days at a hotel or some airport in europe and the german austrian Intelligence Officers also present and there was a growing agreement at that point that the libyans could be quite useful to the west being useful to the west was what gadhafi was aiming for and the west fell for it but at a price. Rendition. This 2012 Human Rights Watch report delivers into enemy hands details the process and several cases including that in our sake and libya. That was an agreement reached that the british and the libyans would start recruiting agents jointly. And from the libyan agents who would would help and spy on al qaida. The rehabilitation of gadhafi took place under british Prime Minister tony blair. 20 gordon brown to go over from blair in june 2007 the friendly momentum continues. The london based Human Rights Organization reprieve has closely monitored rendition for many years. Lawyer corey creator specialized in cases involving libya. You remember and the deal in the desert in 2004 is that davi says oh wow im joining the community of nations everybody was right you know the war on ive looked at iraq and you know i dont want to go that way and all the rest of it so this president has given to him but the reality is of course what happened after that the sanctions were lifted British Petroleum and other companies were able to come in and start doing business to the tune of millions in fact billions of dollars ill just 0 made request to interview tony blair in 24. 00 team but his office said he was not available. The producers also asked to interview former British Foreign minister jack straw who was responsible for British Intelligence 6 at the time of the rendition but his office said he didnt have time. Neither was therefore able to shed light on when dishan cases like that of. Shaikh libby was returned in to libyan custody and. You know we met him 2 weeks before he supposedly kit committed suicide in his cell. And when that happened we raised concerns about the circumstances surrounding his death. We were concerned that it was not actually a suicide libby was allowed a single visit from his family in april 2009 while in libyan detention this video shows him opponent lee comfortable and his family had. No reason to suspect he might soon take his own life. If you should injured injured in the desert and me 9. 100. Desha working to logic or nickel will enter limbert organism we had bought and the one im sure id like to hear. Now mr darrow this we at america another home i let him leave our one bill and we can move the land of the hubble in up in the need tattle is that what the what that. The man american her father thought it up to who are some well im somewhat of a shift in the how would a number economy. Or when we have a more highly was a lot. Of of the bat. Was over such and coupled with either that or can you some mrs novella. Hold what are their beliefs and some a signal that. The u. S. Is said to have 100 over abe no sheikh on libya to the Libyan External Security Organization in afghanistan. But i think the smell of somebody in the Libyan Government the person within the ship and maybe most of them to keep in may 2009 libby was found dead in his prison cell only 2 days after that gadhafi is 4th son want to seem acting as Libyan National security adviser and that u. S. Secretary of state Hillary Clinton is in washington d. C. We deeply value the relationship between the United States and libya we have many opportunities to deepen and broaden our cooperation and im very much looking forward to. Building on this relationship so mr minister welcome so much here thank you we dont like you. For that certainly not to be our when he comes to know what was its and what can be can you look at a fascinating sharp contrast of a year. Its difficult and we can. Stated that. Human rights watch asked for an investigation into a suicide but he was birthed and no libyan inquiry was held into his death. So the photographs are very disturbing when reportedly committed suicide in may be in prison and we question whether that was really a suicide and the photographs reveal things that make it seem as though you know that might not have the get him in the bin a suicide. Gadhafi never allowed any form of opposition within libya. A prominent dissident group was the Libyan Islamic fighting group the l i f g who gadhafi accused of having links to al qaida. Very little rock. Give you one hell of. The. Yeah glad that will help and. That gadhafi is jails had an appalling reputation for mistreatment and torture particularly of Political Prisoners this mobile phone video purports to have been shot in abu salim prison in tripoli. Human rights watch and Amnesty International have both reported hundreds of deaths in abu salim although the figures have never been independently verified or Human Remains Found if western Intelligence Services knowingly colluded in the torture of libyan dissidents in this way they certainly have a case towards. The western agenda was to establish a connection between Saddam Hussein and al qaeda whereas gadhafi wanted to link libyan dissident groups to market. Illiteracy in. The new relationship with gadhafi spread and there are allegations that he illegally funded a Nicolas Sarkozys 2007 french president ial campaign sarkozy has been charged with Illegal Campaign financing he denies the charges and the case is yet to reach the french courts gadaffi was welcomed across europe a far cry from his eightys image as quote the mad dog of the middle east. That was our that was never our business. At livi yeah i said mother thought that but at the same time opponents of gadhafi like our door hakim behind and sami al side of the libya Islamic Fighting group l i f g were arrested and rendered by British Intelligence m i 6 to gadhafi external Security Organization we are going to just turn up our. Supply and. Get most a medal. By then. They are a must for the total loss so yeah by then whether. They are fair days are going to say you know balad. I mean if you have seen. Her team. Well it myself and im also a little my new mom you know. There are limits over to there was you know but if i knew. That when i was a 209 many. Of. Fema part about cook or. Simply your. Image if you see. About rendition have the lid blown off it when in the wake of the libyan revolution in 2011 correspondence was phoned the pointed to western collusion. In 2011 after tripoli was liberated some human rights activists and some revolutionaries found an incredible cache of documents in what appeared to be the abandoned office of then the head of libyas Security Services and in those documents for the 1st time ever we saw evidence showing that there was a joint plot in 2004 to kidnap. Him and his pregnant wife as well as the libyan man semi or saudi his wife and his 4 children from exile in Southeast Asia and render them in other words kidnap them and send them back to that. To us and we can see diminished. And bob ross how. Zosia do you want. To you know see and walk out of the morgue for the true little tiny zosia to confront our current attorney manage to kill him or the cia took them separated them and held them for several days at a black site thats a secret prison near the bangkok airport both of them were chained to the wall separately mistreated was beaten hooded all the rest of it and then they were put on a infamous cia rendition plane one of these planes that the cia flew people around the world to be tortured on to have to be. Made in her country a body. If youre. Going to knock it out im not. Out of. The women if you park you know. Well its no. Great arrive in any. Case of Abdel Hakim Bahaji and his wife goes back to 2004 the couple were planning to seek asylum in the u. K. But they were persuaded by the british to travel to london via by co. There they were arrested and tortured before being rendered to libyan intelligence headed by mustafa hussein. Was a man and a mom. But i need. To know how often you can to know them very well and im so course karen. And elysium illicitly are you can imagine how. Many of the have you know either kind of the command of my. Hodges fellow dissident sami most of our society also says he was rendered to the libyans by the british on the grounds that he was somehow connected to the Group Responsible for 911. 00 al qaida. To offer to my. Dad. And i are in. On it and what i hear and lament i mean im. Well im not by anything you know either can i come in and. Work at the im in the libyan accounting for. A few bucks. And yellow moon in. The morning or we have enough to live and. Abdel hakim bell harsh and Sami Al Saadi were released from prison in libya in 20102011 respectively. Convinced of u. K. Involvement in their rendition in 2012 they decided to sue the British Government in the civil court for handing them over to the libyans to be imprisoned and torture. The British Government is worried about apologising because they feel that if they did that theres a risk that former Security Service people who were involved in this to knapping might be prosecuted and might go to jail.

Bell hodge and fellow dissidents sami al saudi sues the British Government in 2012 they were represented by human rights lawyers in london interviewed here in 2050 where the case was still going on well the key documents that we saw where what appeared to be facts is an correspondence between firstly what appeared to be from m i 6 to the libyan authorities notifying them of the presence of abdul who came by how to his wife fatima at that time in malaysia well the government has sent very blank defenses so far basically saying ignited tonight the events even those events that is supported by the documentation and what they have instead done is try to get the case struck out of course by saying that because the allegations involve the u. S. And other states in libya malaysia. That it would be the cause here dont have jurisdiction to deal with it that it would be wrong because he possibly criticized the actions of other states at 1st the u. K.
