GENEVA - A U.N. anti-torture panel said Monday it was concerned about allegations that Poland housed CIA-run prisons for terrorist suspects, despite Warsaw’s repeated denial of cooperating with the U.S. secret detention program.
The U.N. Committee Against Torture urged Poland to share the details of an investigation carried out by its parliament rejecting charges of Polish participation in the secret CIA prison network.
The committee of 10 independent experts noted a Polish delegation statement “emphatically refuting all allegations” of clandestine detention centers on its soil, but said it needed more information from the parliament’s confidential inquiry “so that the matter can be put to rest.”
Polish Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski shrugged aside the call for Warsaw to share details of the parliamentary investigation. “We treat this as a closed issue,” Kaczynski said when asked about the request.
President Bush acknowledged last year that terrorism suspects were held in CIA-run prisons overseas, but did not say where.
