The rights group says it nonetheless remains concerned, both about a potentially flawed investigation, and the UK role in it.
“In a case such as this, where there remains a real risk of a miscarriage of justice due to the use of evidence obtained under torture and the inadequate resources made available to the defence team, it is all the more important that the British government does everything in its power to ensure that the defendants receive a fair trial,” said Maya Foa, who heads Reprieve’s death penalty team.
“It is essential that the UK police authorities exercise extreme caution to ensure that they do not – directly or indirectly – contribute to the imposition of the death penalty in cases like this one.”
