European Complicity
The involvement of European states in the US-led rendition, secret detention and torture of terror suspects was particularly marked. This complicity took various guises:
- allowing the CIA to construct and run secret prison on their territory;
- involvement in the initial detention of suspects on European soil;
- providing intelligence to the CIA that led to the capture of suspects elsewhere.
- involvement of European intelligence services in the interrogation of suspects who were being held and tortured in secret detention.
- European territory used by CIA aircraft as a stopover on the way to, or the way back from, a particular rendition operation (and in some cases where prisoners were on board as the aircraft landed in Europe).
