Iraq
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent representations he has received regarding the use of torture in Iraq.
- Answer
-
My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary, recently received a letter from Amnesty International referring to their report published on 6 March that asks the UK to take concrete steps to ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to protect detainees from torture or ill-treatment in Iraq. We fully agree that detainees should be well treated and not subject to torture. We will continue to take steps to help ensure this is the case.
