The Bill cleared the Commons but we're working around the clock with allies to ensure its most odious features are addressed by the Committees & the Lords.

Veterans minister Johnny Mercer is sending signals about possible climb downs.

But the fight is far from over yet.

Nasrin decided to tell our representatives what’s at stake from a survivor’s perspective

Matthew, a British student who was tortured in Bahrain, is one of many other survivors telling Boris to think again about this repugnant Bill📽️

Frontline soldiers also are opposed.

Because they abhor torture and they know this Bill is also designed to block compensation for them if they are harmed in the line of duty.

Correction: Matthew was tortured in the UAE not Bahrain.

I have Bahrain on my mind this morning for other torture reasons.

Thanks @forumeditor for picking me up on this.
