Info regarding Jack Straw

The request was refused by Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Edward Williams

Dear Foreign and Commonwealth Office,

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-44...

"Abdul Hakim Belhaj said MI6 helped the US seize him in Thailand in 2004 to return him and his Moroccan wife, Fatima Boudchar, to Libya, where he says he was tortured.

The government has accepted the couple's account of what happened - and the settlement is the first time ministers have apologised for a specific act involving British security agencies".

FOIA REQUEST
1. I would like a list of all records held by FCO relating to Mr Belhaj and Ms. Boudchar EXCEPT information to which s.23 FOIA (Information supplied by, or relating to, bodies dealing with security matters) applies which contains the wording "Jack Straw" or his signature.

Where practicable, the list should contain:-
a) the date of the record
b) the type of record - i.e. letter, email, phone record, image
c) a summary/gist of what the record is.
d) I am not asking for legal advice or court papers.

If the request exceeds costs threshold, please restrict request to year 2004.

Yours faithfully,

Edward Williams
