[2011] EWCA Crim 184

A judge had been right to refuse to stay the prosecution of offenders for terrorism offences as the British authorities had not been complicit in an unlawful rendition of one of the offenders from Pakistan to the UK and the prosecution was not tainted by the torture of one of the offenders by the Pakistani authorities. Even if there had been torture there was no connection between it and the trial and the judge had been right to refuse to stay the prosecution.
