The UK government has paid "substantial" compensation to a man who was tortured by the CIA and remains imprisoned without trial at Guantanamo Bay after almost 20 years, the BBC can reveal.
Abu Zubaydah was the first man subjected to the CIA’s "enhanced interrogation” techniques after the 11 September 2001 attacks. It was claimed he was a senior al-Qaeda member. The US government later withdrew the allegation.
MI5 and MI6 passed questions to the CIA for use during Zubaydah’s interrogations despite knowing of his extreme mistreatment.
He brought a legal claim against the UK on the basis that its intelligence services were "complicit" in his torture.
