Baha Mousa Inquiry: ..."abuses not a one -off" (September 2011)

In Mousa, R (on the application of) v Secretary of State for Defence & Anor [2011] EWCA Civ 1334 (22 November 2011) it was disclosed that..


"On 8 May 2003, Brigadier Forster-Knight, then the Lieutenant Colonel and Provost Marshal 1 UK Armed Division, wrote a document headed "Detention Procedures" which was distributed to, amongst others, the RMP companies stationed in and outside Basra City "for action" and to various other RMP personnel (including "MPS Det") "for information". It stated that a review of custody and detention procedures had been conducted to ensure compliance with the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights and the ECHR. It continued: "It has been determined that current procedures are not consistent with UK legislation and accepted 'best practice' in relation to custody and detention. It may also be argued that current procedures are inconsistent with Article 5 of [the ECHR]. Remedial action is, therefore, required." It concluded with the words: "The imperative is to ensure that RMP acquits itself lawfully".
