Poland accepts court ruling over CIA 'black sites'
Poland will carry out the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, ordering the payment of compensation to two former detainees of CIA black sites in this country.
As Elżbieta Krajewska reports, the Polish Foreign Ministry has already issued a statement saying that it will abide to the court’s decision.
The Strasbourg-based court ruled in July 2014 that Poland should quickly conclude a criminal investigation into the jail, and issue a total compensation of EUR 230,000 to two formers detainees of the jail.
“Poland is required to finally conduct a thorough and effective investigation, make public information concerning its role and hold those responsible to account,” Helen Duffy, the lawyer for Abu Zubaydah, one of the former detainees, said following the court’s decision on Tuesday.
