A notice of complaint has been lodged by Leigh Day, representing Reprieve, with the Investigatory Powers Tribunal. It alleges interception of privileged communications between lawyers and their clients by the UK's GCHQ (Government Communications HQ) and other government bodies. The lawyers at Reprieve are advising the eight people, all members of two families, who claim they were the victims of rendition to Libya from the UK in 2004.
Strong likelihood
The claim, according to The Guardian, states: 'There is a strong likelihood that the respondents have intercepted and are intercepting the applicants' legally privileged communications in respect of the [cases].' Leigh Day says that the surveillance represents a breach of the right to family life and also the right to a fair trial in the European Convention on Human Rights.
