The Report Episode 137 | Part 2/2 (10/12/14) - Discussing the Torture Report on Human Rights Day

EXTENDED FEATURE The Report looks at the widespread use of torture revealed by the Senate report on CIA interrogation techniques. And, by way of contrast, The Report also looks at how activists around the world are marking Human Rights Day. Following the release of the damning report on CIA torture practices used in the period following the 9/11 attacks, many are now wondering what will be done to ensure it never happens again. Joining John Rees to discuss the torture report is Kevin Laue, a Legal Advisor at REDRESS. Joining John Rees and Kevin Laue later in the programme is Saimo Chahal QC, a partner and joint head of the public law and human rights team at Bindmans LLP; and Sheikh Sulaiman Ghani, an Imam, commentator on human rights and a family friend of Guantanamo Bay detainee Shaker Aamer.
