EU: Statewatch launches a new "Observatory" on CIA "rendition"

The Observatory includes extensive documentation with the full-text of 173 documents submitted so far to the ongoing European Parliament inquiry (TDIP) into these matters - many of them published for the first time. Among the documents are detailed submissions on the inquiries in Italy (the Milan abduction), Spain (rendition flights), Canada (the Meher Arar public inquiry) and Ireland (the use of Shannon airport) as well as submissions from 26 national parliaments in Europe. Also included are reports issued by the European Parliament, Council of Europe and NGOs. Tony Bunyan, Statewatch Editor, comments:

"The European Parliament inquiry is a very important initiative in trying to establish the truth about the CIA's activities in Europe. However, EU governments and officials continue to close their eyes and have failed to act as custodians of fundamental rights and accountability.

The publication of these documents is an essential contribution to the work of those trying to establish the truth in the face of institutional intransigence and secrecy."

Our work is only possible with your support.
