22/06/2007 Session
The Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) will debate Dick Marty's (Switzerland, ALDE) second report on secret detentions and illegal transfers of detainees involving Council of Europe member states on 27 June 2007 during its plenary meeting in Strasbourg.
The report alleges a series of partly secret decisions among NATO allies in October 2001 which provided the basic framework for illegal CIA activities in Europe.
It reveals new evidence that US “high-value detainees” were held in secret CIA prisons in Poland and Romania during the period 2002-2005. The parliamentary delegations of Poland and Romania have presented to the Assembly dissenting opinions.
The debate will open at 10 a.m. on 27 June 2007 and will be streamed live on PACE's website (http://assembly.coe.int). Extracts of the debate can be downloaded in professional broadcast quality from the end of the debate.
At the end of the debate, at 1 p.m., M. Marty will give a press conference that will also be live broadcasted on PACE's website
