Amnesty: Seven countries complicit in extraordinary renditions

Amnesty International today urged European Union governments to prevent their airports from being used for secret transfers of terror suspects to countries where they might be tortured, and called for compensation for victims of such alleged US operations.

In a report published before this week’s EU summit in Brussels, the human rights watchdog said seven European countries – including Germany, Britain and Italy – likely were complicit in abductions by US intelligence agents and have stonewalled attempts to investigate them.
