Amnesty accuses Spain of allowing CIA flights to Guantanamo
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008
Madrid - The human rights group Amnesty International (AI) on Wednesday accused the Spanish government of not having tried to prevent US flights transporting terrorist suspects to illegal detention centres across Spanish airspace.
At least 90 flights linked to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) made stopovers at 15 Spanish airports, mainly on the Canary Islands, between 2002 and 2007, the Spanish section of AI said in a report.
About 200 people were taken to the US prison camp in Guantanamo, Cuba, on flights that took off from US military bases in Spain or crossed the Spanish airspace, AI charged.
The group urged the government to cooperate with an ongoing judicial investigation into the flights.
Other European countries allowed similar flights, AI conceded.
