Legal fight to stop US destroying torture images

British resident says photographs are evidence of abuse at Guantánamo Former Guantánamo detainee Binyam Mohamed has launched an urgent legal attempt to prevent the US courts from destroying crucial evidence that he says proves he was abused while being held at the detention camp, the Guardian has learned. The evidence is said to consist of a photograph of Mohamed, a British resident, taken after he was severely beaten by guards at the US navy base in Cuba. The image, now held by the Pentagon, had been put on his cell door, he says. Mohamed claims he was told later that this was done because he had been beaten so badly that it was difficult for the guards to identify him. In a sworn statement seen by the Guardian, Mohamed has appealed to the federal district court in Washington not to destroy the photograph, which neither he nor his lawyers have a copy of, and which is classified under US law. The US government considered the case closed once Mohamed was released and returned to Britain in February. The photograph will be destroyed within 30 days of his case being dismissed by the American courts ? a decision on which is due to be taken by a judge imminently, Clive Stafford Smith, Mohamed's British lawyer and director of Reprieve, the legal charity, said today . Under US law, evidence relating to dismissed cases must be automatically destroyed. The only way to preserve the photograph is to have it accepted as a court document. This is the aim of Mohamed's appeal and he says he needs the image as a crucial piece of evidence to fight his case against US authorities for unlawful incarceration and abuse. "That is one piece of physical evidence that I know exists of my abuse," he says in the statement, adding that it was taken in Guantánamo in 2006. After being kicked and punched, he says his guards "applied force to a pressure point on my arm, twisting the handcuffs up ... They tried to open my closed fists up by bending my fingers back one at a time." They took a picture of him when, he says, he was on the floor pinioned by the guards. He continues: "They then slammed me and my Qur'an into the fence." After he objected, he says, they "slammed me into the fence again". He adds: "They then strapped me into a restraint chair and cut off half my beard. They then performed the humiliating 'anal cavity search', although it was painfully obvious that there was nothing to find." Mohamed also describes how at one point he screamed and that this "made them redouble their efforts and my situation got worse". He adds: "One [military guard] took the heel of my hand and pushed my nose up violently. One soldier pulled on my jaw. They slammed my forehead down on the concrete floor. One grabbed my testicles and punched me." Mohamed said: "The authorities have consistently denied that I have been abused, and this is physical evidence that I am telling the truth, and they are not." The Guardian is also writing to the court asking for the photographs to be disclosed in the interests of open justice and freedom of expression. Mohamed's lawyers and media organisations are already embroiled in a dispute in the UK high court over a refusal by David Miliband, the foreign secretary, and the US to disclose what their intelligence agencies knew about Mohamed's torture. Mohamed was seized and held in Pakistan in 2002 before being secretly renditioned to Morocco. He was subsequently flown to Afghanistan before being sent to Guantánamo. Mohamed says he knows of other photographs taken of him in Morocco and Afghanistan, but he has not seen them. "These pictures including photos of my genitals," he said. "Although the US authorities still apparently deny it and refuse even to admit that I was rendered to Morocco, I was horribly tortured there and had a razor blade taken to my genitals". He also says he suspects that witness B ? an MI5 officer who interrogated him in Pakistan in 2002 and currently the subject of a British police investigation ? is being used as a scapegoat. "The main responsibility lies with those who established the policy of abuse, not with the functionaries who carried out their orders," he says in his statement. Stafford Smith said: "It is difficult to understand the continuing policy of the Obama administration. Surely the public has the right to know the crimes committed by US personnel against a British resident like Binyam Mohamed."

Army foils Zelaya's Honduras return

Ousted president's plane fails to land after runway is blocked and at least one person is killed in clashes at Tegucigalpa airport Honduras was in turmoil last night as President Manuel Zelaya attempted to return and topple coup leaders who ousted him, prompting deadly clashes between his supporters and security forces. The president flew from Washington towards home in a high-stakes effort to reclaim power, sparking dramatic scenes at the airport in the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa, where soldiers and police squared off against thousands of demonstrators. After the interim government refused Zelaya permission to land and parked military vehicles on the runway, he was forced to divert the plane to the Nicaraguan capital, Managua, where it later landed. The ousted president had appealed to the army to return its allegiance to him "in the name of God, in the name of the people, and in the name of justice", and made an emotional plea to be allowed to "embrace" his people. "Today I feel like I have sufficient spiritual strength, blessed with the blood of Christ, to be able to arrive there and raise the crucifix," he had said as the plane flew to Honduras. Thousands of supporters had answered Zelaya's call to peacefully march on the airport, but as the flight neared tension soared. Clashes broke out and soldiers opened fire, killing at least one person, the first death in the week-old crisis. At least 30 people were treated for injuries, the Red Cross said, after security forces fired warning shots and tear gas. When Zelaya's plane was turned away, his supporters began chanting "We want blue helmets!" in a reference to UN peacekeepers. Karin Antunez, 27, was in tears. "We're scared. We feel sad because these coup soldiers won't let Mel return, but we're not going to back down," she said. "We're the people and we're going to keep marching so that our president comes home." Moments after Zelaya's plane was turned away, about a dozen trucks filled with police ordered everyone off the streets, imposing a sunrise-to-sunset curfew. "We should look for an immediate solution," Zelaya told Venezuela's Telesur network. He added that he would try to enter Honduras again today or Tuesday. The interim government said he would immediately be arrested if he crossed the border. Zelaya flew from Washington on a jet provided by his ally, Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez, and was accompanied by the UN general assembly president, Miguel D'Escoto Brockmann, a leftwing Nicaraguan. Separately, several Latin American allies, including Presidents Cristina Kirchner of Argentina, Rafael Correa of Ecuador and Fernando Lugo of Paraguay flew to neighbouring El Salvador to monitor Zelaya's attempted return. Diplomatic pressure was piling on the isolated interim government which took power last week after soldiers seized the president in his pyjamas and bundled him into exile, evoking an era of military overthrows which most thought had passed. On Saturday the Organisation of American States (OAS) suspended Honduras from the 34-member body, the first such punishment since Cuba's expulsion in 1962. EU countries have withdrawn ambassadors and the World Bank has frozen lending. The US and Canada had urged Zelaya to delay his return, warning that violence could flare in the deeply polarised central American country. His leftwing allies in Venezuela and Nicaragua said the sooner he was restored to power the better. The Roman Catholic hierarchy, which has made little secret of its distate for Zelaya, appealed him to stay away to avoid a bloodbath. The cattle baron-turned-president's supporters, who are mostly poor and working class, said they would demonstrate daily until he was reinstated. The interim government said if he returned he would be arrested on 18 charges, including corruption and treason. It said the takeover was not a coup but a legal transfer of power and defence of the constitution. The supreme court, congress and his own Liberal party accuse Zelaya of subverting the constitution and trying to abolish presidential term limits. Zelaya, who alarmed Honduras's institutions by veering left after his election in 2006, said right-wing oligarchs had turned the clock back to an era of military overthrows. The interim government's attempts to persuade the world that Zelaya's ousting was legal were punctured when the army's top lawyer, Colonel Herberth Bayardo Inestroza, told reporters the overthrow was criminal. It was still justified, he said, because the army could not tolerate a leftwing leader who broke with the country's traditional pro-US stance.

Pay squeeze for public sector workers

A tight squeeze on the pay of 6 million public sector workers, and a further public sector efficiency drive this summer, was signalled today by Alistair Darling as he warned he was determined to tackle ballooning public sector debt. The chancellor's remarks indicate the government may be willing to take the controversial step of reopening multi-year deals with teachers and health workers. Darling's comments also appeared to run counter to the broad strategy run by Gordon Brown that the electorate faces a choice next year between Labour investment and Tory cuts. The chancellor, in an interview with Sky News, revealed he would be setting out his thoughts on public pay policy "over the next few weeks". But he pointedly said: "Public sector pay has obviously got to reflect prevailing conditions and in particular inflation has come way down." He added: "We have got to be fair with regard to people who work in the private sector," a reference to the fact that its pay has been hit harder in the recession. Average earnings in the public sector for the three months to March 2009 (including bonuses) stood at +3.6%, compared to -1.2% in the private sector. Darling was speaking against the backdrop of a call by the chairman of the Audit Commission, Steve Bundred, for a freeze in public sector pay. He wrote in the Observer that it could provide £5bn of the £50bn that would have to be found through tax rises or spending cuts. Darling refused to be as specific, but pointedly declined to propose the kind of binary choice between Labour spending and Tory cuts proposed by Brown. Brown's strategy has been creating tensions within the cabinet, with some ministers blaming the increasingly influential Northern Ireland secretary Shaun Woodward for what they regard as daft political advice. Darling put the emphasis on the pain ahead, saying overall public spending totals after 2010-11 will have to be much tighter. At present, year on year or current spending is due to rise by 0.7% per year from 2010-11, with total spending, including capital spending, due to fall. Darling also said the slowdown in the economy has been deeper than he had predicted at the time of the spring budget. Over the summer he promised to "rigorously examine each budget", and will give fresh public spending predictions in the pre-budget report in autumn. Darling's relative candour came as the former defence secretary, John Hutton, also urged the leadership to be straight on the size of the deficit. Hutton told the BBC: "I don't think you can go on saying we can continue to spend as if nothing has happened in the last year or so. Politicians have got to ...be clear with people about what's happening." Some of the government's immediate options to rein in public sector pay look limited in that two of the biggest groups ? health workers and teachers ? are in the middle of three-year deals not due to end until 2011. They were negotiated when inflation was projected to be much higher than the current 1%. Teachers' employers have said they will decide in the next few weeks whether to ask the government to review the 2.3% offer due in September and in 2010. Similarly in the autumn, the NHS pay review body will decide whether the final year of a three-year deal, covering 2008-09 to 2010-11 and worth 2.7% a year, will be honoured. Pay makes up more than 40% of the health budget, and the pay deal covers more than 1.3 million staff. In local government, the unions are still seeking an improvement on a 0.5% offer that was due in April. Dave Prentis, general secretary of Unison, said: "Freezing public sector pay during a recession is not the way to steer people through it."
