Rendition case against UK to proceed

BBC News - Rendition case against UK to proceed after appeal court ruling
Abdul-Hakim Belhaj alleges that former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw and MI6 were complicit in arranging he and his wife's rendition from China in 2004.
The High Court had ruled the case could not be heard in UK courts because it could damage foreign relationships.
But judges said the claims were so "grave" a court should hear them.
Mr Belhaj's lawyer Sapna Malik said after the ruling: "It's a very significant step forward to these cases finally being heard.''
Mr Straw and the government have been given leave to appeal to the Supreme Court.
