(MENAFN) Ex-Foreign Secretary Jack Straw faces being sued over allegations of abduction and torture brought by a former Libyan dissident.
In detail, Abdul-Hakim Belhaj claims MI6, which Mr Straw was then responsible for, helped the US kidnap him in Bangkok in 2004 to return him and his wife to Tripoli.
The Supreme Court backed a Court of Appeal ruling allowing his action.
Mr Straw - among several parties in the case - rejects claims that he had been aware of the rendition.
