Turns out the US has been torturing suspects on the British overseas territory in the Indian Ocean that is home to a large US military base known as Diego Garcia.
Lawyers from Reprieve, a pro bono legal defense council that represents a number of detainees at Guantánamo Bay, including several former British reports that the US is avoiding litigation over this by torturing suspects on the island and in boats in international waters.
One detainee told a researcher from Reprieve: "One of my fellow prisoners in Guantánamo was at sea on an American ship ... told me that there were about 50 other people on the ship; they were all closed off in the bottom. The people detained on the ship were beaten even more severely than in Guantánamo."
Last June Dick Marty is a Swiss senator investigating the US use of European territory and air space to support torture, concluded in a report to the Council of Europe that prisoners had been held on iego Garcia and boats and ships docked off of it.
One possibility which the foreign affairs committee may explore is that suspects have been held on a prison ship off the coast of Diego Garcia. The UN special rapporteur on torture, Manfred Nowak, has said that he has heard from reliable sources that the US has held prisoners on ships in the Indian Ocean. There have also been second-hand accounts from detainees at Guantánamo of prisoners being held on US naval vessels.
One detainee told a researcher from Reprieve: "One of my fellow prisoners in Guantánamo was at sea on an American ship with about 50 others before coming to Guantánamo. He told me that there were about 50 other people on the ship; they were all closed off in the bottom. The people detained on the ship were beaten even more severely than in Guantánamo."

The shocker here is that this is in British territory an if the British wa nt to go along with torture then we should call it out just like we call it when Democrats act like Republicans.
