A recent report revealed that the United States is illegally holding prisoners throughout undisclosed locations in Eastern Europe without granting them basis civil rights such as access to legal counsel.
The report, written by the Human Rights Watch group and published in the Washington Post, revealed that the prisoners, most of whose identities are not known, are all suspected of involvement in terrorist activity.
Information gathered clandestinely revealed that CIA airplanes that were known to move prisoners from Afghanistan and the Middle East, had made regular stops to remote airfields in Romania and Poland.
Flight records show that one airplane known to be carrying prisoners from Afghanistan landed in a northeastern airfield in Poland where Polish intelligence services are maintained, then later flew to Romania, Morocco, and Guantanamo Bay.
According to the report, an unknown number of detainees may be held by the US in locations in the Middle East and Asia as well, according to Reuters.
The report recommended that the United Nations and relevant European Union bodies investigated the matter to determine which countries are being used by to transfer and detain incommunicado prisoners.
