The Independent - Despite years of allegations against the security and intelligence services by terrorism suspects, Scotland Yard and the Crown Prosecution Service have now concluded that there is no case to answer, sources have told the Daily Telegraph.

Both the police and Kier Starmer, the Director of Public Prosecutions, are to make a statement explaining the decision.

A statement issued last night by the Crown Prosecution Service said they would announce “a number of decisions in relation to the investigations into the alleged ill treatment of detainees.”

Sources say the Director of Public Prosecution will say that no evidence has been found that officers from either service were aware of the mistreatment of prisoners.

The Gibson inquiry into the treatment of prisoners abroad, which has been boycotted by human rights organisations, can now go ahead following the conclusion of criminal proceedings.
