More and more facts are coming to light about the US security services and agencies, such as the CIA, illegally kidnapping people, flying them to Europe, detaining them and then subjecting them to isolation and torture. These disgraceful and unlawful acts, which violate the most basic rights, deserve forthright condemnation.
This is especially worthy of condemnation because, contrary to what some would have you believe, this is not some isolated incident or a series of unsubstantiated allegations. Quite the opposite, the reports emerging of this appalling state of affairs are merely the tip of the iceberg of US imperialism, which, under the cloak of the so-called ‘fight against terrorism’, rides roughshod over the United Nations Charter and international law, and uses the UN for its own ends.
Although it likes to play with words, the US administration has never denied the existence of the flights, the kidnappings or the illegal prisons.
It is crucial that this appalling situation be thoroughly investigated and that measures be taken to stop such unlawful activities from happening."@en1
