Illegal Arrest and Torture: Infectious diseases

It looks as though everyone else is following our lead. Here's a report about Britain and Greece:

Greek investigators have said they will release evidence proving their country's involvement in the kidnappings and interrogation of 28 Pakistanis by British agents shortly after the bombings in London on 7 July.

The issue reached Greece's parliament last week after Frangiscos Ragoussis, a criminal lawyer, said seven Pakistani immigrants were abducted from their homes in central Athens, blindfolded and taken to a secret location in late July.

There, Ragoussis said, they were questioned for their alleged involvement in or links to the bombings, in which 56 people died.

He claimed that at least another 21 Pakistanis from other parts of Greece, in the eastern city of Ioannina and Oinofyta, near Athens, received similar treatment.

Ragoussis said that police and other government officials buried the file when the allegations first surfaced in summer.

"New evidence should come forward in the next few days which will prove that my clients were abducted and tortured and why for months there was no progress with the investigation," Ragoussis said.

"The government was very quick to accuse these men of being liars – even before the investigation was completed."

Preliminary investigation

The allegations automatically triggered a preliminary investigation by prosecutors in Athens and answers from the justice minister.

Dimitris Papangelopoulos, the prosecutor responsible for overseeing an inquiry into the allegations, said his office had the "guts" to get to the bottom of the claims.
