London : Legislators and human rights groups are pushing to prove the use of British territory for US flights of detainees scheduled for abusive interrogations.
The Guardian daily says the British Foreign Minister for Africa, Asia and the UN, Lord Malloch Brown, talked on the issue with UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Manfred Novak.
Both talked on the CIA flights to Diego Garcia Island, under British jurisdiction, as a detention center for people the US considered suspects.
Novak said he possessed reliable evidence from sources he cannot disclose that confirm the presence of detainees at the British installation in 2002 and 2003, assured The Guardian.
Three weeks ago, Foreign Secretary David Miliband admitted that Diego Garcia served as a stopover for the illegal transfer of people to the secret US jail in Guantanamo.
The Guardian adds that human rights groups that met here with Foreign Ministry officials think the registration of the CIA flights may have been destroyed.
