It is a victory for everyone who opposes injustice, secret detention, and torture. We are gratified by today\u2019s apology and respect the sincere spirit in <em>which<\/em> it was given. History will judge the CIA\u2019s torture programme as a grave mistake and a crime. Britain lost its way when it got mixed up in rendition, but today, by apologising for its part in that dark story, the UK has stood on the right side of history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Cori Crider, <\/strong>Reprieve counsel to the family<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The apology, delivered today in Parliament by the Attorney General Jeremy Wright, comes in a letter from Prime Minister Theresa May to the family. It follows a mediation with the Government and a personal meeting between the Attorney General and the couple, in which they described their ordeal to him.<\/p>\n<p>Fatima Boudchar and her eldest son Abderrahim attended Parliament for the apology. Mr Belhaj will receive the apology immediately afterward at a separate ceremony in Istanbul.<\/p>\n<p>The apology is unprecedented in scope for a \u201cwar on terror\u201d case. It says that the couple\u2019s \u201charrowing experiences\u2026[are] deeply troubling,\u201d and that the UK Government \u201cbelieves [their] accounts\u201d of their abduction and torture.<\/p>\n<p>The apology accepts that the UK\u2019s actions \u201ccontributed to your detention, rendition and suffering,\u201d and that UK officials wrongly \u201csought information about and from\u201d Mr Belhaj during his detention and torture in Gaddafi\u2019s Libya.<\/p>\n<h2>Reaction<\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI welcome and accept the Prime Minister\u2019s apology, and I extend to her and the Attorney General my thanks and goodwill. For more than six years I have made clear that I had a single goal in bringing this case: justice. Now, at last, justice has been done. My wife and I hope our case will serve as a marker for future generations. A great society does not torture; does not help others to torture; and, when it makes mistakes, it accepts them and apologises. Britain has made a wrong right today, and set an example for other nations to follow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abdul-Hakim Belhaj<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI thank the British Government for its apology and for inviting me and my son to the UK to hear it. I accept the government\u2019s apology. This case has forced me to relive the lowest moments in my life for years, and at times it has been a real struggle to keep going. But by today\u2019s settlement I look forward to rebuilding my life with dignity and honour, and living free from the weight of these events with my husband and our five beautiful children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fatima Boudchar<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Abdul-Hakim Belhaj and Fatima Boudchar<\/h2>\n<h2><a
