CIA's Extraordinary Rendition and Detention Program – countries involved in the program, according to the 2013 Open Society Foundations' report on torture[1][2]
The CIA controls black sites used by the U.S. government in its War on Terror to detain people deemed to be enemy combatants.[3]
US President George W. Bush acknowledged the existence of secret prisons operated by the CIA during a speech on September 6, 2006.[4][5] A claim that the black sites existed was made by The Washington Post in November 2005 and before this by human rights NGOs.[6]
A European Union (EU) report adopted on February 14, 2007, by a majority of the European Parliament (382 MEPs voting in favor, 256 against and 74 abstaining) stated the CIA operated 1,245 flights and that it was not possible to contradict evidence or suggestions that secret detention centers where prisoners have been tortured were operated in Poland and Romania.[3][7] After denying the fact for years, Poland confirmed in 2014 that it has hosted black sites.[8]
