One of the 'Hooded Men' says he does not accept PSNI apology
The apology had been hand delivered to Mr Clarke by his solicitor on Thursday, four days before he died.that the apology is "50 years too late" for him and he said that it personally feels "fairly meaningless".During their detention, the Hooded Men said they were forced to listen to constant loud static noise; deprived of sleep, food and water; forced to stand in stress positions; and beaten if they fell.
He also described at one stage thinking he was going to die during his detention after being severely beaten by his captors. This ruling was later referred to by the European Court of Human Rights in 1978, which held that the UK had carried out inhuman and degrading treatment, but fell short of defining it as torture.
