'Extraordinary Renditions' And The Egyptian Black Hole
Writing in the June 22, 2005 edition of IslamOnline.Net, Egyptian Freelance journalist Taqiyuddin Malik analyzed "Human Rights Watch's (HRW) explosive new report, appropriately titled "Black Hole: The Fate of Islamists Rendered to Egypt. "
"This report is about the rendition of scores of wanted persons to Egypt , renditions that are illegal because Egypt is known to be a country which practices torture routinely and systematically," he wrote, adding: "The 53-page document highlights the illegal practice of transporting detainees to countries where they will face torture; specifically in this case, Egypt."
The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Jordan are reportedly some of Egypt's torture clients.
"The report is bound to further spotlight the current regime's human rights record, increasing pressure on a government already beleaguered by its citizen's increasingly strident calls for political change," he predicted.
Mr. Malik's analysis is timely in view of an Italian judge's issuance of arrest warrants on June 24, 2005 for 13 CIA agents who allegedly kidnapped an Egyptian Imam living in Italy and took him to Egypt where he was reportedly tortured. See "In the Spotlight: The Egyptian Black Hole." for more.
