Gareth Peirce

In Conversation with Moazzam Begg

Lawyer Gareth Peirce represents individuals who are or have been the subject of rendition and torture, held in prisons in the UK and interviewed in secret prisons abroad.

As the Obama administration begins the release of carefully selected evidence concerning the widespread use of torture in the “War on Terror” Peirce’s new collection of essays are an insightful argument of the need for a similar accounting from the British Government. Exploring the few cases that have come to light, Peirce makes the case for the British Government’s collusion in a whole range of extrajudicial activities.
