In 2004, in Iraq, seized Yunus Rahmatullah.

It then unlawfully (the UK Court of Appeal has held) handed him to US forces.

The US then unlawfully rendered him to its Parwan detention facility in Bagram, Afghanistan. 900 others are held there.

He has not been tried of any offence known to any law.

He has been accused of being a member of Laskar e Taliba. I understand that even the US's military kangaroo courts found that not to be the case.

He is still held in Parwan, beyond the reach of law. For 6 years he was not allowed to speak even to his family. He has still not been allowed to speak to a lawyer.

His physical and mental health have been destroyed by his captors and interrogators (or, as the bluntly spoken would say, torturers).

On 14 December 2011, the Court of Appeal issued a writ of habeas corpus ordering the British Government to ask the US for Yunus' return. The UK was given one week to secure his release or else to explain why it's not possible.

Treaty obligations between the UK and the US oblige the US to return him.
