Bush Recognized Existence of CIA Secret Prisons
US President George Bush has recognized the existence of CIA secret prisons. He reported that 14 prisoners, kept there on suspicion in complicity in terrorist actions, are sent to an American base in Guantanamo in Cuba and they will appear before the court. Among them is Halid Sheik Mohammed, considered one of the organizers of the September 22 attacks on New York and Washington.
In the President's words, he reported about the CIA prisons, as the interrogation of the prisoners is complete. Another cause is that the US Supreme Court has banned using military tribunals for considerations of cases of people suspected of terrorism.
This spring the European Parliament commission has established that governments of some European countries had helped the CIS to secretly transport suspects. Human rights organizations stated that US authorities took suspects to countries, where they were tortured.
Dick Marty, who being commissioned by the CE studied the issue of secret prisons, stated that European governments should make public the information they have on the CIA secret program, reports the BBC Russian Service.
