LONDON , England ( CNN ) -- The UK government has clashed with the judiciary amid claims that Washington pressured London into not releasing documents that reveal the torture of a terrorism suspect , UK media report . Binyam Mohamed has been held at Guantanamo Bay for more than four years . Ethiopian Binyam Mohamed , 30 , formerly resident in the UK , has been held at Guantanamo Bay since September 2004 . Allegations that he he was involved in a plot to release a `` dirty bomb '' in the United States have now been withdrawn . Mohamed and his supporters allege he was tortured in Pakistan , Morocco and Afghanistan between 2002 and 2004 , and that the UK security services were complicit . UK media outlets had appealed against an earlier ruling to withhold documents relating to the alleged torture . Two UK High Court judges said Wednesday , in comments reported by the UK 's Press Association , that the papers would still not be disclosed after UK foreign minister David Miliband warned their publication might affect intelligence sharing between the U.S. and UK . In their ruling , reported by PA , the judges said the documents included information `` relevant to allegations of torture , '' but added that they did not contain any sensitive intelligence . Rather , the judges concluded , the material was `` politically embarrassing '' and urged the new U.S. administration to take a different approach . The judges also suggested the U.S. government had pressured London about the intelligence-sharing relationship should the documents be released . Miliband told the UK 's Channel 4 News Wednesday that intelligence co-operation between nations relied on confidentiality and that there would have been repercussions if the papers had been released . But he added : `` There has been no threat from the United States to 'break off ' intelligence cooperation . '' `` In this case , the United States made clear , in documents that have been published , that there would inevitably be serious and lasting harm if that fundamental principle was breached , '' Miliband said . `` It is American information and it is for the Americans to decide when to publish their information . '' The UK government has peviously pressed for the release of Mohamed . Last month U.S. President Barack Obama set a one-year deadline for the closure of Guantanamo . Clive Stafford Smith , lawyer for Mohamed , said in a statement on the Web site of human rights group Reprieve that the U.S. and the UK governments were legally obliged to investigate any allegations of torture . `` For the foreign secretary to give in to these illegal demands by the Bush Administration is capitulation to blackmail , pure and simple . It is hardly Britain 's finest hour . As the judges say , it is up to President Obama to put his money where his mouth is . He must repudiate his predecessor 's reprehensible policy . '' Earlier this week Miliband met with his U.S. counterpart , Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for talks in Washington . Clinton told media after her meeting that the U.S.-UK relationship stood the test of time , adding : `` Our two countries have stood side by side confronting global challenges for a very long time . We share fundamental values and important fundamental objectives . ''
