Europe Continues Investigation of CIA Rendition Program
by TChris
European investigators suspect that prisoners once secretly detained by the CIA in Europe are now being held in North Africa. Senator Dick Marty, who leads the Council of Europe investigation, says it is “still too early to say if there has been any involvement or complicity of member states in illegal actions.” If member countries permitted the CIA to hold detainees “without judicial involvement,” Marty warns that “the member states would stand accused of having seriously breached their human rights obligations to the Council of Europe.” (TalkLeft coverage of the rendition program is collected here.)
