Investigator: CIA abduction claims 'credible' |
CIA abduction claims 'credible'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4524864.stm
Allegations that the CIA abducted and illegally transported
terror suspects across European borders are credible, an
investigator has said.
Swiss senator ***** Marty has submitted a report on the claims,
made in the media, to a meeting of the human rights committee
of the Council of Europe. Mr Marty criticised the US for refusing
to confirm or deny the allegations.
Mr Marty's findings were released in an official statement by a
committee of the 46-member Council of Europe, the continent's
human rights watchdog.
"The elements we have gathered so far tend to reinforce the
credibility of the allegations concerning the transport and
temporary detention of detainees - outside all judicial
procedure - in European countries," he said.
He went on: "Legal proceedings in progress in certain countries
seemed to indicate that individuals had been abducted and
transferred to other countries without respect for any legal standards."
The BBC's Alix Kroeger in Strasbourg says the strongly worded report
will add to the pressure for more in-depth inquiries.
