"Mr President, the US Senate Report documenting CIA torture of alleged terrorists raises a number of fundamental questions about the nature and operations of the vast secret police networks, which span the globe. The report details harsh CIA interrogation techniques, including CIA officers threatening to hurt, rape, and kill family members of detainees but it omits the wider scope of violent activity in which the CIA continues to be involved. This is simply unacceptable. It is also disgraceful that despite over 6,000 pages of documents and testimony, recording crimes against humanity, the report is unlikely to trigger any trials or resignations. The Scottish Government is demanding answers from the UK and if we, in this chamber, represent countries that were directly or indirectly involved in these shameful practices it’s our responsibility to put pressure on our respective governments and to conduct a thorough inquiry at the EU level. Member states’ agencies should not have been in the business of kidnapping and ‘rendering’ and I urge my colleagues from countries like Poland, Romania, Lithuania and others to press for judicial inquiries, as we need a full explanation of what happened in our name on our soil."@en1
