"Today’s report by Mr Fava raises some critical issues which are about the core fundamental rights of everybody in Europe and across the world.
The report paints a shocking picture of human rights abuse and illegal activity, all of which was tolerated by Member States including Ireland. The Irish Government’s hear-no-evil, see-no-evil approach to illegal renditions is unconvincing and unacceptable. The report points out that at least 147 CIA-operated flights made stopovers in Irish airports including by aircraft involved in ‘extraordinary renditions’ or kidnappings as we would normally call them.
Now all of us who seek the truth about these kidnappings must take this issue to our national parliaments and directly challenge the national governments at home in our countries. The real pressure must be applied at home where the people who permitted and tolerated these actions will feel it.
To this end, I am calling on the Government to launch a full parliamentary inquiry in the Dáil immediately into the use of Irish territory as part of the CIA rendition circuit. Sinn Féin supported the report to lend our weight in the European Parliament to this call."@en1
