برنامج الاعتقال والترحيل التابع للمخابرات المركزية الأمريكية

Extraordinary rendition, also called irregular rendition or forced rendition, is the government-sponsored abduction and extrajudicial transfer of a person from one country to another with the purpose of circumventing the former country's laws on interrogation, detention and torture. Such renditions have predominantly been carried out by the الولايات المتحدة government, with the consent of the other countries involved.[1][2][3]

في أعقاب أحداث 11 سبتمبر 2001 ، بدأت وكالة المخابرات المركزية الأمريكية (سي آي إيه) برنامجًا سريًا للاحتجاز، يُحتجز بموجبه مشتبهين في سجون تابعة لوكالة المخابرات المركزية ، المعروفة أيضًا باسم "المواقع السوداء" موجودة خارج الولايات المتحدة ، حيث تعرضوا لأساليب استجواب تشمل التعذيب وغيره من الإساءات. في نفس الوقت تقريباً ، اكتسبت وكالة المخابرات المركزية سلطة واسعة النطاق للانخراط في "التسليم الاستثنائي" ، الذي تم تعريفه هنا على أنه نقل للمعتقلين - دون إجراءات قانونية - إلى معتقلات حكومة أجنبية لأغراض الاحتجاز والاستجواب. وقد تم تصنيف برنامج الاحتجاز وبرنامج التسليم الاستثنائي بدرجة عالية خارج الولايات المتحدة ، وتم تصميم برنامج الإعتقال و الترحيل الإستثنائي لاستجواب المحتجزين خارج نطاق القانون. كان التعذيب علامة مميزة لكليهما. استلزم البرنامجان اختطاف واختفاء المعتقلين ونقلهم خارج نطاق القانون على متن رحلات جوية سرية إلى مواقع غير معلنة في جميع أنحاء العالم ، متبوعة باحتجازهم بمعزل عن العالم الخارجي والاستجواب والتعذيب وسوء المعاملة. احتضنت إدارة الرئيس جورج دبليو بوش ما يسمى ب "الجانب المظلم" ، وهو نموذج جديد لمكافحة الإرهاب مع القليل من الاهتمام بالقيود القانونية المفروضة محليا ودوليا .

Reported methodology

Media reports describe suspects as being arrested, blindfolded, shackled, and sedated, or otherwise kidnapped, and transported by private jet or other means to the destination country.[5] The reports also say that the rendering countries have provided interrogators with lists of questions.


Airline flights

On 4 October 2001, a secret arrangement was made in Brussels by all members of NATO. Lord George Robertson, British defense secretary and later NATO's secretary-general, would later explain NATO members agreed to provide "blanket overflight clearances for the United States and other allies' aircraft for military flights related to operations against terrorism."[6]

"Black sites"

In 2005, The Washington Post and Human Rights Watch (HRW) published revelations concerning CIA flights and "black sites", covert prisons operated by the CIA and whose existence is denied by the US government. The European Parliament published a report in February 2007 concerning the use of such secret detention centers and extraordinary rendition (See below). These detention centers violate the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the UN Convention Against Torture, treaties that all EU member states are bound to follow.[7][8][9]


Example cases

Khaled Masri case

Khalid El-Masri (also Khaled El-Masri[10] and Khaled Masri,[11] Levantine Arabic pronunciation: [ˈxaːlɪd elˈmɑsˤɾi, -ˈmɑsˤɾe], العربية: خالد المصري‎) (born 29 June 1963) is a German citizen who was mistakenly abducted by the Macedonian police, and handed over to the U.S. CIA. While in CIA custody, he was flown to Afghanistan, where he was allegedly held in a black site, interrogated, beaten, strip-searched, sodomized, and subjected to other inhuman and degrading treatment, which at times escalated to torture, though none of those claims can be verified.[12][13][14][15][16] After El-Masri held hunger strikes, and was detained for four months in the "Salt Pit", the CIA finally admitted his arrest and torture were a mistake and released him.[17] He is believed to be among an estimated 3,000 detainees whom the CIA has abducted from 2001–2005.[11]

Abu Omar case

Majid Mahmud Abdu Ahmad case


Muhammad Bashmila case

Muhammad Bashmila, a former secret prisoner, now free in Yemen, gave an interview to the BBC Newsnight programme, where he spoke of being transferred from Afghanistan to a detention center where it was cold, where the food appeared European and where evening prayers were held. Somewhere in Eastern Europe is suspected. This claim cannot be confirmed.[18]

Maher Arar case

Mohamed et al. v. Jeppesen Dataplan, Inc.

Other cases

This is a non-exhaustive list of some alleged examples of extraordinary rendition. Most cannot be confirmed.

Countries that conduct own rendition

Saudi Arabia

China

China abducts its citizens from e.g. Hong Kong or Australia, within its program of repatriating more than 3,000 people "who had escaped overseas"[20].

Czech Socialist Republic
