For ten years the Algerian Government has refused any independent international monitoring of its secret prisons, in a climate where many other countries have accepted this as a necessity for a modern democracy. Algeria’s refusal to agree to such monitoring, despite the best efforts of the British Government to encourage this, sends a clear message that it is not yet ready to move forward towards international minimum standards. http://www.siac.tribunals.gov.uk/Documents/W-and-Others-open-18Apr16.pdf For more information on the issues you can read a Bureaux of Investigative Journalism report, here: https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2016/04/18/bid-deport-six-terror-suspects-blocked-uk-judges-cite-torture-fears-algeria/
