"People kidnapped by the US are being shuttled around the world for
interrogation, often to places where torture is practiced – and the US
administration doesn’t deny it. This is called extraordinary rendition”

A report by Council of Europe rapporteur Dick Marty says European governments including Britain are complicit in these abuses.

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe will be debating thereport on 27th June. Join our action to demand to put a stop to the CIA’s torture flights.
