Terror suspects ‘tortured in secret CIA jails’

SECRET jails where terror suspects were held naked and in solitary confinement for months were operated by the CIA in Romania and Poland, with the complete agreement of both countries presidents.

The details of the programme for dealing with what the CIA calls high value detainees are revealed for the first time in a 74-page report prepared by a team led by Swiss lawyer and senator Dick Marty for the Council of Europe.

It says that not even war authorises the conduct that the US and the countries that have colluded in the so-called rendition and holding of terror suspects as they are prohibited by the Geneva Conventions.
