Are MI6 above the law?


Sir Mark Allen, previous MI6 officer will no longer face charges over Libyan renditions.
 Abdelhakim Belhaj - victim of torture and rendition in Libya as a result of MI6 senior officer Sir Mark Allen's involvement with the Libyan regime


Abdelhakim Belhaj, former head of the Libyan Islamist fighting collective, detained as a suspect during the "war on terror", was granted asylum to the UK surprisingly. I say surprisingly, because thereafter, British officials plotted together with the CIA to fly Belhaj and his wife, who was pregnant at the time along with their children to Muammar Gaddafi's interrogation and torture cells in Tripoli.

I now pose the question, 'Are MI6 above the law?'How can the abduction of a preganant woman along with her children, the imprisonment of an innocent women and her young children ever be justifiable? It is because they're Muslims?' Why am I even asking this question, of course its because they're Muslims, we are a religion who is forever being scrutinized and victim to suspicion and harsh treatment.

Although official documents discovered in the offices of Moussa Koussa, Gaddafi's intelligence chief, showed clearly there was no authorization for British involvement from Jack Straw, who was the Foreign Secretary at the time. Despite this, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has released a long and detailed statement to basically say no prosecutions will be made because of "insufficient evidence"to bring charges against MI6.

Torture is inhumane and is not the way to rehabilitate people or bring consensus and solidarity in a time in which terrorism, prejudice and acts of violence and bigotry are dividing us. Furthermore, torture is ineffective and can act as fuel for further criminal activity.

Belhaj has been reported to have said to The Independent's Kim Sengupta, "... they say the rule of law in Britain reaches everyone, even the most powerful. Today I wonder if that idea was a myth."
I agree with Belhaj and I am very sceptical and wary about British officials in positions which are meant to be exercised for our protection and security.

G4S Medway Centre for young offenders has been under extreme scrutiny since January this year, when BBC Panaroma revealed the harrowing crimes committed by custody officers against the young people in their care.

It Felt Good To Be Invisible For Once!

Many times I have complained and moaned to others, and might I add, boasted, about the overwhelming attention I receive on the road from male spectators . Although, compared to most daring westernised girls who have no problem with showing off their legs, cleavage and body shape, I make sure to cover as much skin as possible. With that being said, I wear extra layers underneath tops and jumpers so less can be seen, and  I enjoy wearing long jackets. As a result, I have boasted many times about the 'prettiness' of my face, as a man has nothing more to go on when he spots me and approaches me. Most girls cannot boast about this, neither make the same claim, as I myself, have witnessed men smack their tongues across their lips in lust at a woman's behind, only to follow her and show an apparent disappointed expression on their face, at the woman's face. Laugh as you wish, but when I'm seeing girls forcefully arching their backs whilst walking, I can't help but de
