UK: Torture inquiry chief won't be replaced

None

British government lawyers say they have dismissed a call to replace the head of an inquiry into allegations that Britain colluded in the torture of terrorism suspects overseas.

 

Human rights group Reprieve has complained that ex-appeals court judge Peter Gibson would not be impartial as inquiry chairman, as he has served as Intelligence Services Commissioner, Britain's spy watchdog, since April 2006. (AP)
