Martyn Day not Martin Day[edit]

Day's first name is Martyn, not Martin as in the title. I have changed it in the copy but it needs changing in the title. See the Leigh Day website and the extensive news coverage if further citation is required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.170.66.162 (talk) 16:05, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Baha Mousa[edit]

text from the article

In 2008, the British Ministry of Defence was taken to trial by the family of Baha Mousa and nine other Iraqis. The Iraqis claim they were tortured and mutilated while being detained in the southern city of Basra on suspicion of being insurgents.

Baha Mousa died in detention in 2003. A postmortem found Mousa suffered 93 different injuries, including a broken nose and fractured ribs. It said he died of asphyxia caused by a stress position.

After a lengthy trial, the government has agreed to pay almost £3m to the family of Baha Mousa and nine other Iraqis tortured by British troops and issued a full apology for the "appalling abuse" they suffered.

The settlement was accompanied by an apology from the Ministry of Defence. The MoD said in a statement: "The settlement is with an admission of liability by the Ministry of Defence which follows on from a statement on 27 March 2008 by the Secretary of State for Defence when substantive breaches of Article 2 (right to life) and 3 (prohibition of torture) of the European Convention on Human Rights were admitted."^[1]

It may well be that Martyn Day represented the family of Baha Mousa but nowhere in the text I have moved from the article does it says that. This is an article about Martyn Day, not about nasty things done by the British government and the British State. If Martyn day did represent Baha Mousa that needs to be stated clearly and what they did or did not do during the legal process needs to be discussed. -- PBS (talk) 01:56, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
