ECCHR RENDITION CONFERENCE, 2007 (WARSAW, POLAND)

In the discussion about extraordinary renditions of suspected terrorists throughout Europe, carried out by the CIA and the secret detention of those persons, Poland comes up in a lot of ways. Poland is accused not only of having permitted CIA flights to use Polish airports; moreover there is a strong suspicion that on Polish soil there was a secret detention and interrogation prison.

This public meeting will bring together, for the first time, lawyers and other practitioners from these countries with experienced international lawyers, including several who are working on rendition cases, in order to explore strategies for exposing wrongdoing by these governments and holding them accountable.
