European court condemns Poland for hosting secret CIA prisons
STRASBOURG (FRANCE) – Europe’s top human rights court condemned Poland on Thursday for hosting secret CIA prisons on its territory, saying Warsaw knowingly abetted unlawful imprisonment and torture of Guantanamo-bound detainees.
The European Court of Human Rights ruled in favour of a Palestinian and a Saudi national who were held in a US detention centre for several months in Poland in 2002-2003 before being transferred to the US military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
