Rumsfeld flieht Frankreich, das Anhalten fürchtet

Ehemalige US Verteidigung-Sekretärin Donald Rumsfeld floh Frankreich, das heute Anhaltenüberschußaufladungen „der Einrichtung fürchtet und Folterung von Häftlingen an autorisierend“, Amerikanisch-lassen Sie Abu Ghraib Gefängnis im Irak laufen und der des US Zurückbehaltung-Service Militärs an der Guantanamo Bucht, Kuba, die unbestätigten Reports, die aus Paris kommen, schlägt vor.

US Botschaftbeamte wischten Rumsfeld weg gestern von einer Frühstücksitzung in Paris, das durch die Zeitschrift der fremden Politik nach menschlichen Rechten organisiert wurde, die Gruppen eine kriminelle Beanstandung gegen den Mann einordneten, der Präsidenten George W. spearheaded Bushs „Krieg auf Terror“ für sechs Jahre.

Under international law, authorities in France are obliged to open an investigation when a complaint is made while the alleged torturer is on French soil.

According to activists in France, who greeted Rumsfeld shouting “murderer” and “war criminal” at the breakfast meeting venue, US embassy officials remained tight-lipped about the former defense secretary’s whereabouts citing “security reasons”.

Anti-torture protesters in France believe that the defense secretary fled over the open border to Germany, where a war crimes case against Rumsfeld was dismissed by a federal court. But activist point out that under the Schengen agreement that ended border checkpoints across a large part of the European Union, French law enforcement agents are allowed to cross the border into Germany in pursuit of a fleeing fugitive.

“Rumsfeld must be feeling how Saddam Hussein felt when US forces were hunting him down,” activist Tanguy Richard said. “He may never end up being hanged like his old friend, but he must learn that in the civilized world, war crime doesn’t pay.”

International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) along with the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR), and the French League for Human Rights (LDH) filed the complaint on Thursday after learning that Rumsfeld was scheduled to visit Paris.
