The head of a European investigation into alleged CIA secret prisons and flights in Europe will present his findings tomorrow after studying satellite images of suspect locations and log books archived by the European Union’s air safety organisation.

The European Union’s main satellite centre still has not supplied images of air bases in north-eastern Poland and eastern Romania to Council of Europe investigators, hindering their probe into allegations of CIA secret prisons in eastern Europe.

Europe’s leading human rights watchdog said today it soon hopes to be able to monitor satellite footage of suspect sites in Romania and Poland as part of its investigation into alleged secret CIA prisons and flights in Europe.
