LONDON, (Reuters) – The Court of Appeal ruled yesterday that a judgement strongly criticising the country’s  security services over the alleged torture of a former  Guantanamo Bay detainee should be published.

Earlier this month, the court agreed to disclose seven  paragraphs relating to secret U.S. intelligence material about  claims of abuse suffered by Binyam Mohamed at the hands of CIA  agents.

The ruling came after the High Court decided in 2008 that  the British government had to reveal all the evidence it held  against Mohamed except these paragraphs.

However, part of this judgement was removed after British  government lawyers saw a draft version and put pressure on the  court, arguing that it had gone too far and would damage  Britain’s domestic spy agency MI5.

Yesterday, the court agreed that both a draft and final  version of the judgement which included criticisms of the  British security services should now be published “in the  interests of open justice”.
