Poland to pay reparations to CIA rendition and torture victims

Posted on 2015/05/16 - 2015/05/16 by jd

The European Court of Human Rights urged the US not to execute the suspects???! Is this a serious worry, or just something the ECHR feels it has to say when handling with legal cases dealing with the USA??

‘…The European Court of Human Rights had imposed a Saturday deadline on Poland to make the reparations. Last July Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri were awarded USD $147,000 and $113,000, respectively, in a lawsuit against Poland for allowing the CIA to detain them and for not preventing torture and inhumane treatment. The court also ordered Poland to urge the US not to execute the suspects.
