| Subject: Statist filth: European court confirms Poland's complicity in CIA torture program Wed Feb 18, 2015 5:35 am | |
| The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) rejected Poland’s appeal to overturn a criminal investigation into officials working at a secret prison used in the CIA torture program. The Polish government now has to conclude its investigation and pay damages. The original July 2014 ruling by the court included a demand that Poland swiftly conclude a criminal investigation into the jail in question – code-named Quartz – and pay compensation totaling $262,660 to two men who were held and tortured at the site. Both men are still imprisoned in the United States in the Guantanamo Bay prison complex in Cuba. “Poland is required to finally conduct a thorough and effective investigation, make public information concerning its role and hold those responsible to account,” Helen Duffy, the lawyer for one of the men, Abu Zubaydah, said of Tuesday’s decision. Alleged Al-Qaeda associate Zubaydah was said to have been waterboarded 83 times during his detention by the CIA.
