"Mr President, on 18 December 2001, father of five Ahmed Agiza stood waiting for the bus in Karlstad in Sweden. He had been on a Swedish-language course. The following day, he was sitting in a cold isolation cell in Cairo in Egypt. He had been tortured and humiliated, both on his removal from Sweden and in Egypt. This happened more than five years ago, and Ahmed Agiza is still imprisoned in Egypt. Ahmed Agiza might just as well have been called Muhammad Al Zari, Abu Omar or Khaled El Masri or borne the name of any other of the prisoners imprisoned and tortured by the CIA, often in cooperation with the Member States. In this report, we document 1 245 cases consisting of illegal CIA flights, illegal transfers and many instances of torture and other acts of cruelty. This is a report that demands legal investigations in those countries – such as my own, Sweden - that have not embarked on such investigations. It also demands compensation and justice for those affected. The report also demands that the Guantánamo prison camp be closed. I wish to conclude by stating that human rights are universal and inviolable. The report shows that they can never be taken for granted."@en1
