Britain is to pay millions of pounds in compensation to former Guantanamo Bay detainees to head off potentially damaging court actions, media reports said. One former prisoner was in line to receive more than one million pounds (1.6 million dollars, 1.1 million euros), said the report. The reported settlement comes after the High Court ordered the release of 500,000 related documents in July, as part of an action brought against the government by six ex-detainees of the notorious US prison camp. Bisher al-Rawi, Jamil-el-Banna, Richard Belmar, Omar Deghayes, Binyam Mohamed, Martin Mubanga have accused Britains intelligence services of having been complicit in their torture while they were detained at Guantanamo. The Cabinet Office, which handles government business, said in a statement that the government would on Tuesday update parliament about the case.
