10 Foreigners Lose Appeal of Detention
From Times Wire Reports
Ten foreigners held without charge under Britain’s emergency post-Sept. 11 terrorism laws lost an appeal that sought to end their detention based on a claim that some secret evidence against them might have been obtained through torture.
The suspects argued that the evidence might have been obtained by the United States at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba or in Afghanistan. They had sought to introduce evidence that they said would prove that the United States abuses detainees.
