The military commander of the Libyan rebels who claims Britain was involved in his rendition and torture has pulled out of the Detainee Inquiry amid claims its powers are "seriously deficient".
Abdul Hakim Belhadj, head of the Tripoli Military Council, will join several former Guantanamo Bay detainees who are also pulling out of the inquiry into wider allegations of British collusion in torture, his lawyers Leigh Day & Co said.
It comes as campaigners wrote to the Prime Minister, warning him that the inquiry will not be able to ensure such abuses never happen again without substantial changes.
