A Libyan politician suing the government for damages amid claims they were involved in a tip-off that led to his kidnap and torture in a Gaddafi jail said he will drop his case for £3 and an apology, his supporters said.
Libyan politician Abdel Hakim Belhaj, allegedly tortured in 2004 after being detained by American intelligence officers at Bangkok airport, along with his pregnant wife, Fatima Boudchar, says he wants an apology from the government for their role in his capture.
In a letter sent to Prime Minister David Cameron, former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, and former head of counter-terrorism Sir Mark Allen, Mr Belhaj said:
"My wife and I are willing to end our case against the UK Government and Messrs Straw and Allen in exchange for a token compensation of a British pound from each defendant, an apology and an admission of liability for what was done to us."
