I note the decision yesterday of the European Court of Human Rights which voted by a six to one majority to determine that the men concerned had not been subjected to torture. They were certainly subjected to terrible abuse and degrading punishment, but the European Court of Human Rights has determined that their treatment did not extend to torture. The Government will consider the judgment and, having done so, make a decision on whether to appeal it.
