• Farmer claims ministers are funding a one-party state in his homeland that has helped regime inflict 'brutal treatment' on thousands
• Taxpayers will pay for both the farmer's lawyers and a defence team from the Department for International Development
• Legal action has been branded as farcical, bizarre and ridiculous by MPs angry he was able to lodge court documents before law change

"O is not personally seeking compensation, but wants the Government to change its aid policies and stop bankrolling brutal regimes. If he succeeds, ministers could be forced to review donations to other nations accused of atrocities, such as Pakistan and Rwanda".

I'm sure I've seen on this board demands for greater accountability regarding how our foreign aid is spent - so I expect those who posted will support this farmer's actions.
