Lawyers for the government have admitted that a senior MI5 officer gave false evidence to the high court in the case of former Guantánamo Bay prisoner Binyam Mohamed.

The admission, combined with an apology, is contained in a letter from Treasury solicitor David Mackie to Lord Justice Thomas and Mr Justice Lloyd Jones, who tomorrow will hear fresh demands from lawyers representing Mohamed, and the media, for the disclosure of information about who was complicit in his interrogation and torture. . . . . .

Police from Scotland Yard’s specialist crimes directorate are investigating “possible criminal wrongdoing” by another MI5 officer, known as Witness B, who interrogated Mohamed in a Pakistani jail shortly after he was seized in 2002.

Former shadow home secretary David Davis yesterday described the government lawyers’ letter to the high court as “extraordinary”. He added: “The state is using secrecy to cover up embarrassment.”
