Britain and Libya: tortured friends

category international | anti-capitalism | other press author Friday September 09, 2011 13:04author by Simon Basketter - SWP Report this post to the editors

Papers found in Tripoli expose links between Libya and MI6 relating to rendition and the torture of prisoners. Previous investigations were a whitewash, this must not be allowed to happen again.

New documents expose years of murderous interventions in Libya by British governments. Within days of celebrating their role in overthrowing former dictator Gaddafi, the shallowness of British claims to support democracy in Libya was shown in evidence of their support for torture. After years of denial and cover-up by both Labour and Tory governments there is now panic in the political establishment.

Another document, a CIA fax, reveals Britain set up a torture flight for Gaddafi. The fax from March 2004 says that the CIA is aware that Libyan intelligence were “co-operating” with British spies “to transfer a suspect to Tripoli”.

Linking MI6, BP, LSE and Libya

While Sir Mark Allen ran MI6’s Middle East desk, he fixed a BP-Libya oil deal. He went to work as a special adviser to BP after he left the Foreign Office in 2004. Allen is a senior adviser to the Monitor Group—“a global consultancy and private equity firm”. The firm is headed by Sir Richard Dearlove, former head of MI6 and adviser to BP. Monitor drew up a strategy to “enhance the profile of Libya and Muammar Qadhafi”. It helped write Saif Gaddafi’s PhD thesis at the LSE.

Allen is still on the advisory board of the LSE’s centre for the study of international affairs, LSE Ideas.
