Libya Renditions: The CIA, MI6 and Gaddafi's Secret Prisons



How British and US secret services collaborated with the former Libyan regime to detain and torture dissidents.


In 2004, Sami al-Saadi and Abdel-Hakeem Belhaj - two Libyan opponents of the Muammar Gaddafi regime - were abducted en route to the United Kingdom, then repatriated to Libya where they were imprisoned and tortured.
But following the 2011 uprising and the overthrow of the Gaddafi regime, the two men - who were released from detention in 2010 - began to investigate the real story behind their abduction, and the role played by the UK government.
Two years later in 2013, Al Jazeera's Juliana Ruhfus gained exclusive access to the men as they returned to Libya in search of answers.
