Straw quizzes US on 'CIA flights'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4486198.stm
The foreign secretary has written to Washington over claims
that the CIA has used EU airports to move suspects to other
countries for torture.
Jack Straw said the letter "expressed concern" on behalf of
all EU countries and he was waiting for a response.
He spoke after human rights group Liberty urged police to
probe allegations that the flights called at British airports.
The US government has said its laws have not been broken.
But it has refused to confirm or deny the existence of
"secret prisons" in third countries.
Liberty has called for action within 14 days - or, it has said,
it will go to court claiming police aided and abetted kidnap
and torture.
'Appropriate steps'
The Foreign Office has said it had no evidence of such use
of UK territory.
At a news conference with Italian Foreign Minister Gianfranco Fini,
who is visiting the UK, Mr Straw said his letter "had gone".
He said he was waiting for a response from the US Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice and he would circulate the reply to all his foreign
minister colleagues.
"Meanwhile, let me say, I think there is no purpose in speculating on
allegations that are made on this side or the other side of the
Atlantic," he said.
"These are allegations about a foreign government. We have taken the
appropriate steps, which is to ask for clarification by that government."
The Guardian in September reported claims that at least 210 CIA flights
had landed in the UK since the 11 September 2001 attacks on the US.
It is alleged at least 12 airports in England and Scotland have been
used, with the busiest being Prestwick in Ayrshire where CIA aircraft
landed more than 75 times.
Suspicions
Shami Chakrabarti, Liberty's director, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme:
"The allegations, the suspicions, the circumstantial evidence if you like,
gives serious enough concern that we should ask chief constables to do their
duty.
"They have positive obligations under international law and under our human
rights act to investigate, and that's what we ask them to do."
Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesman Menzies Campbell told Today:
"We need full disclosure by the government.
"If in fact people are being moved from a jurisdiction where torture
is illegal to a jurisdiction where torture is permissible, that seems
to me to be wholly contrary to international law.
"If we are allowing facilities for aircraft carrying out those actions,
then we are at the very least facilitating it; we may even be complicit
in it."
Police letters
Liberty has written to the chief constables of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire,
Dorset, Essex, Hampshire, Kent, the Metropolitan Police, the Ministry of
Defence police, Sussex, Thames Valley and West Midlands forces.
Because of the possibility of court action if police fail to respond,
Scottish
police operating under a different legal system have not been contacted,
Liberty says.
The airports allegedly involved include Biggin Hill in Kent, Birmingham,
Bournemouth, RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, Farnborough, Gatwick,
Heathrow, Luton, Mildenhall in Suffolk, RAF Northolt in north London,
Stansted and Prestwick.
