Mr Abbasi claimed in written evidence that a guard tried to feed him pork. He also claimed two guards had sex in front of him, that a male guard groped the breasts of a female colleague in front of him, and that he was tricked into praying towards America rather than towards Mecca. He also says he was drugged with a mind-altering chemical. The US military says it captured him on the battlefield in Afghanistan, and also claims he was recruited to fight for al-Qaida after attending the Finsbury Park mosque in north London where Abu Hamza preached.
An Ethiopian student who lived in London claims that he was brutally tortured with the involvement of British and US intelligence agencies.
Binyam Mohammed, 27, says he spent nearly three years in the CIA's network of 'black sites'. In Morocco he claims he underwent the strappado torture of being hung for hours from his wrists, and scalpel cuts to his chest and penis and that a CIA officer was a regular interrogator.
After his capture in Pakistan, Mohammed says British officials warned him that he would be sent to a country where torture was used. Moroccans also asked him detailed questions about his seven years in London, which his lawyers believe came from British sources.
