The foreign secretary has lost an Appeal Court bid to stop the disclosure of secret information relating to the alleged torture of a UK resident.
Ethiopian-born Binyam Mohamed, 31, says UK authorities knew he was tortured at the behest of US authorities after his detention in Pakistan in 2002.
Judges ruled that paragraphs which say his treatment was "cruel, inhuman and degrading" should be released.
David Miliband said the ruling was "not evidence that the system is broken".
The judgement was delivered by the three most senior Court of Appeal judges in England and Wales.
Cruel and inhuman
Commenting on the case, the prime minister's spokesman said the government stood firmly against torture and cruel and inhumane treatment.
Good news. This man deserves justice. He was tortured by Americans simply for his religious beliefs. Even though MI5 themselves weren't the torturers, they acted complicitely and the UK did not protest at the mistreatmenr of one of her citizens, even if the relationship between Britain and America might be slightly damaged.
