Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
LONDON, March 18 (UPI) -- Interrogation rules used by Britain's intelligence services, which ban torture, will be published for the first time, Prime Minister Gordon Brown says.
In statement to Parliament Wednesday, Brown said the rules governing how MI5 and MI6 interrogate terrorism suspects and strictly ban the use of torture and will be made public, The Guardian reported.
The prime minister said he was publishing the guidelines "to protect the reputation of our security and intelligence services," adding that Britain condemns torture "without reservation. Torture has no place in a modern democratic society. We will not condone it. Nor will we ever ask others to do it on our behalf."
The move comes after Conservative Party leader David Cameron last week demanded a full investigation into allegations that British agents were involved in torturing terrorism suspects who had been abducted by U.S. counterparts in "extraordinary rendition" operations, The Guardian said.
