Senior judges have ruled that modified British military interrogation techniques were lawful – and said a High Court challenge mounted by an Iraqi had been "misconceived".
Haidar Ali Hussein, who was arrested in 2004, had challenged the lawfulness of interrogation and "tactical questioning" techniques used on captured prisoners.
But Lady Justice Hallett and Mr Justice Collins dismissed Mr Hussein's claim.
Mr Hussein had alleged that he had been physically ill-treated before and during questioning and subjected to "substantial periods of shouting".
