PIAC continues to be involved in FOI matters relating to the Department of Defence’s handling, exchange and rendition of people, including military prisoners. 

This project began in 2005, when PIAC made FOI requests to the Department of Defence and the Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade for all information regarding the rendition of detainees. PIAC appealed to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal in relation to the Department of Defence’s decision. Eventually, PIAC received a number of documents from the Department of Defence.
