**RELEASED: CIA TORTURE UNREDACTED** After a four-year joint investigation with @TBIJ, our new report is finally published! Freely available online, it offers the most detailed and comprehensive account of the CIA's torture programme. (1) https://t.co/mMeOYJ2D7G

Press Release: Govt. torture inquiry refusal a 'broken promise' to torture survivors -

“CIA Torture Unredacted”, the ample opus released last week by @sam_raph, @ruthblakeley and @cr0ft0n worked on the redactions of the executive summary of the SSCI report. Knowledge and assistance by the UK known, it is a legal obligation to investigate

Announced today: Govt to make "definitive" statement this week on whether or not to establish judge-led inquiry into UK involvement in "War on Terror" torture. Could this be May's (only) positive legacy? Read our new report on CIA (and UK) torture: https://t.co/bQ5o194qUz

Listening to HoC debate ( https://t.co/JlZBur9UYR), all MPs emphasizing that UK collusion in torture is historical only, and that we are once again a beacon of human rights/rule of law. That's not what I found when MOD gave me its Nov 2018 torture policy! https://t.co/Vkx7XkyyBo

Extremely valuable new resource in #rendition #torture accountability work out this week. Read it here: https://t.co/W0jAwHu2CJ Thanks @renditionprjct @cr0ft0n @ruthblakeley

Well, that was that then. Big crowd, big day, big report. Thanks to @TBIJ and @CSDWestminster for help on the night. Special shout out to Maggie Raphael - 14yrs old, selling copies hand over fist, propping up the bar right to the end. #nextgen

I'm really grateful to everyone who came to help me @sam_raph @ruthblakeley and @cori_crider launch CIA Torture Unredacted last night - as Sam said, initially we anticipated maybe 30 people, so we were very pleasantly surprised.

Q: ‘Are the panel pessimistic or optimistic about the future closure of Guantanamo?’

Q: ‘What are the limitations of relying on norms of human rights when they are so regularly and blatantly flaunted?’

@cori_crider @sam_raph @cr0ft0n @ruthblakeley Q: ‘What is the potential for transnational oversight bodies to work together to provide accountability?’

@cori_crider @sam_raph @cr0ft0n @ruthblakeley Full house for our launch event as we move into the Q+A

@cori_crider @sam_raph @cr0ft0n @ruthblakeley .@ruthblakeley ends by calling for a full judge-led inquiry into British complicity in the CIA torture programme

@cori_crider @sam_raph @cr0ft0n @ruthblakeley .@ruthblakeley arguing that UK policy on torture remains ambiguous, and the ‘consolidated guidance’ represents little more than ‘rhetorical scaffold to allow a minimal commitment to human rights’

@cori_crider @sam_raph @cr0ft0n Now @ruthblakeley explaining the importance of a full investigation into UK complicity in rendition and torture, as successive governments have consistently avoided accountability

@cori_crider @sam_raph @cr0ft0n .@cr0ft0n: ‘it’s quite hard to hide a plane’, so the voluminous paperwork left behind by aviation contractors provided the link between CIA black sites and the transfer and dentition of detainees

@cori_crider @sam_raph Now @cr0ft0n, explaining how lawyers and investigators had to reconstruct the experience of detainees then held incommunicado at Guantanamo, using open source intelligence

@cori_crider @sam_raph .@sam_raph outlining the limitations of the Executive Summary of the Senate Torture Report, but showing how our analysis allowed us to reverse the redaction of key information

@cori_crider @sam_raph .@sam_raph stressing the importance of detainees’ testimony in the face of continual official denial

@cori_crider Now @sam_raph introducing the CIA’s rendition, detention and interrogation programme and the brutality of torture

@cori_crider .@cori_crider drawing a link between the CIA detention programme during the war on terror and the detention centres currently set up on the US border
