<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12px"><BR><FONT face="">‘Five Muslim community workers have accused MI5 of waging a campaign of blackmail and harassment in an attempt to recruit them as informants. The men claim they were given a choice of working for the Security Service or face detention and harassment in the UK and overseas’. This account began a front-page article in <I>The Independent</I> on 21 May 2009. MI5 had told the men, 'Work for us or we will say you are a terrorist.' When they refused to cooperate, MI5 acted on the threat; some were detained and interrogated on trips abroad. <BR> <BR>Such practices are widespread yet rarely gain publicity. MI5 has blackmailed hundreds of refugees, who face much higher stakes: they could be deported to torture, or else they could be granted asylum as a reward for becoming police informers. In most cases, MI5 wants information on political views and ordinary
