Poland asks European court to hide CIA secret torture prison case from public.
Poland has asked the European Court of Human Rights to bar media and public presence during an upcoming hearing on Poland’s complicity with the CIA’s “extraordinary rendition” program that delivered terror suspects to secret prisons around the world.
The public hearing in Strasbourg, France, scheduled for Dec. 3, will be the first arguments testing allegations that the Polish government allowed the CIA to operate a jail for supposed Al-Qaeda fighters in Poland.
The request for a private hearing “will be examined by the court shortly,” a court spokesperson told Reuters.
Poland cited national security concerns as to why it wants the hearing to remain confidential. The Polish government would not comment on the story.
