In a report titled “Below the Radar: Secret flights to Torture and
‘Disappearance'”, Amnesty International exposes the CIA’s secret
torture chambers around the world. The report shows how the CIA
used airlines and front companies to hide numerous detention centers
and the brutality going on inside. In addition to the CIA’s own
torture chambers, detainees have been shipped away for interrogation to
countries like Uzbekistan where torture is commonplace.
3 Yemeni former detainees shed light into what goes on behind closed
doors, from being held in “complete isolation, in cells measuring about
2m x 3m,” and “permanently shackled to a ring fixed in the floor”, to
being “never allowed outside, or even to look through a window,” and
held where “temperatures were colder than any they had ever known.”
The 3 former detainees were shipped from one CIA prison to another for
18 months, all the while being tortured by their American
captors. After this painful ordeal, they have not been charged
with any crimes related to terrorism.
Will you accept this being carried out by your government in your name? Or will you resist?
The World Can’t Wait! Drive Out the Bush Regime!
