If I may, Chair, I want to read a quick synopsis of a recent event that implicated the NDS. It's from a Human Rights Watch report dated December 21, 2009. It's about torture and death attributed to the NDS.
...was concerned that the marks on Basir's body may have been signs of torture. The family took the body of the forensic department of the health ministry where an autopsy was carried out. The findings have not been made public.
The family reported that security agency officials later came to the house where the body was held and gave them the message to bury the body. When the family tried to take the body to Parliament, they said agency vehicles blocked their way, that the NDS basically inhibited their ability to bury the body, but also that their suggestions that the person was alleged to have committed suicide by the NDS, but in fact was tortured to death.
I have to say, with what I'm hearing from the U.K.—the U.K. has now stopped the transfer of detainees to NDS facilities—in light of the most recent reports and what you've told us, I believe it would be very difficult for me as a parliamentarian to have confidence in the NDS as a partner we can actually have trust in.
