At its plenary session on September 11, 2012, the European Parliament (EP) adopted a resolution calling on EU member states to investigate whether there were secret prisons or facilities on their territory, where people were held under the CIA’s secret rendition program in the early years of this century. The resolution is based on a report prepared by the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice, and Home Affairs last August.[1]
