Пленники привидения `C I A' пропуская
Воскресенье 25-ое апрель 2009
William Fisher | По крайней мере 3 detainees дюжины держались в тюрьмах C I A втихомолку международных кажется, что будут пропавши - и усилия организациями прав человека отслеживать их whereabouts будьте неудачно. Рассказ этих «пленников привидения» всесторонн был документирован последняя неделя Pro Publica, online трассологическая группа публицистики. В сентябре 2007, Майкл v. Hayden, после этого сказанный директор C I A, «менее чем 100 людей были задержаны на средствах C I A.» Одна памятка выпустила последнюю неделю подтвердила что C I A имело custody по крайней мере 94 людей в мае 2005 и «используемых увеличенных методов к меняя градусам в расспрашиваниях 28 из этих.» Бывшия президент George W. Bush. Кустик общественно подтвердил программу C I A в сентябре 2006, и возвратил 14 пленников от втихомолку тюрьм к Guantánamo. Много других пленников, которые имели «little or no дополнительное значение сведении,» кустик сказали, «возвратите к их странам проживания для prosecution или задержания их правительствами.» Но кустик не показал их тождественности или whereabouts - информация позволила бы международный комитет для Красного Креста найти их - или термины под hand over пленники к чужим jailers. США. правительство никогда не выпускало информацию описывая угрозу нисколько их представило. Некоторые из пленников с тех пор выпускали третьими странами держа их, но оно все еще мутновато случалось к дюжинам других, и никакие чужие правительства не подтверждали удерживание они. Gitanjali Gutierrez, юрист с центром для конституционных прав (CCR), который представляет Majid Khan, бывший detainee привидения на Guantánamo, сказанном IPS, «администрация Obama должно изменить курс от своего курса `передн-смотря' потому что он оставляет too many критически вопросов неотвеченн, включая те о судьбе пленников привидения, котор держат Соединенные Штаты.» «Соединенные Штаты сильны достаточно для того чтобы рассмотреть C I A и другие агенства' деятельности, для того чтобы репрессировать индивидуалов которые нарушили наши законы, и обеспечить что наша нация не смещает к темной стороне снова,» она сказала. Pro Publica сообщило что бывшие должностные лица в администрации кустика сказали что недели ые I A C I A во время лета 2006 - shortly before кустик подтвердил тюрьмы C I A и suspended программа - перенося пленников к пакистанскому, египетскому и иорданскому custody. Организация сказала населенность внутри программы была shrinking в виду того что существование тем было детализировано в a Вашингтон Пост статья в ноябре 2005. Renewed diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Libya in May 2006 made it possible for the CIA to turn over Libyan prisoners to Moammar Gadhafi’s control. Joanne Mariner, director of the Terrorism and Counterterrorism Program at Human Rights Watch, said, “If these men are now rotting in some Egyptian dungeon, the administration can’t pretend that it’s closed the door on the CIA program” “Making the Justice Department memos on the CIA’s secret prison program public was an important first step, but the Obama administration needs to reveal the fate and whereabouts of every person who was held in CIA custody,” she said. The Red Cross has had access to and documented the experiences of only the 14 so-called “high value detainees” who were publicly moved out of the CIA program and into the prison at Guantánamo Bay. In June 2007, human rights groups released the names of three dozen people whose fates remained unknown. “Until the U.S. government clarifies the fate and whereabouts of these individuals, these people are still disappeared, and disappearance is one of the most grave international human rights violations,” said Margaret Satterthwaite, a law professor at New York University. “We clearly don’t know the story of everyone who has been through the program We need to find out where they are and what happened.” In a related development, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has asked the Obama administration to make public records pertaining to the detention and treatment of prisoners held at the Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan. The ACLU filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for records pertaining to the number of people currently detained at Bagram and their names, citizenship, place of capture and length of detention. The ACLU is also seeking records pertaining to the process afforded those prisoners to challenge their detention and designation as “enemy combatants.” “The U.S. government’s detention of hundreds of prisoners at Bagram has been shrouded in complete secrecy. Bagram houses far more prisoners than Guantánamo, in reportedly worse conditions and with an even less meaningful process for challenging their detention, yet very little information about the Bagram facility or the prisoners held there has been made public,” said Melissa Goodman, staff attorney with the ACLU National Security Project. She told IPS, “Without transparency, we can’t be sure that we’re doing the right thing – or even holding the right people – at Bagram.” Recent news reports suggest that the U.S. government is detaining more than 600 individuals at Bagram, including not only Afghan citizens captured in Afghanistan but also an unknown number of foreign nationals captured thousands of miles from Afghanistan and brought to Bagram. Some of these prisoners have been detained for as long as six years without access to counsel, and only recently have been permitted any contact with their families. At least two Bagram prisoners have died while in U.S. custody, and Army investigators concluded that the deaths were homicides. “When prisoners are in American custody and under American control, no matter the location, our values and commitment to the rule of law are at stake,” said Jonathan Hafetz, staff attorney with the ACLU National Security Project. “Now that President Obama has taken the positive step of ordering Guantánamo shut down, it is critical that we don’t permit ‘other Gitmos’ to continue elsewhere.” The ACLU’s request is addressed to the Departments of Defense, Justice and State, as well as the CIA. A federal judge recently ruled that three prisoners being held by the U.S. at Bagram can challenge their detention in U.S. courts, in habeas corpus suits brought by a group of human rights legal advocates. The prisoners, who were captured outside of Afghanistan and are not Afghan citizens, have been held there for more than six years without charge or access to counsel. The Obama administration is appealing the ruling. (Inter Press Service) Have Your Say: CIA ‘Ghost Prisoners’ Missing Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
