Government loses appeal over Afghanistan detention - BelfastTelegraph.co.uk

It was made in May last year in the case of Afghan farmer Serdar Mohammed, who was held in 2010 on suspicion of being a senior Taliban commander involved in the large-scale production of improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

Mohammed, who wants damages for unlawful detention and mistreatment that he contends breached the European Convention on Human Rights, was detained from April 7 until July 25 2010 when he was transferred into the hands of the Afghan authorities and sentenced to ten years imprisonment.
