New information confirming the existence of CIA prisons in Romania
has been issued in the public space. According to the Washington Post,
the U.S. administration has thousands of photos of the places where
terrorists, had been detained, including in our country. However,
Romanian officials have denied their existence, even if former President
Ion Iliescu acknowledged in an interview to a German publication that
he provided to the CIA a “headquarters” in Romania.
The U.S. administration holds about 14,000 photos from CIA-operated
secret prisons in other countries, including Romania, where terrorist
suspects appear, but also CIA and foreign intelligence services staff,
said US officials quoted by the Washington Post.
The bulk of the photographs depict black sites in Thailand,
Afghanistan and Poland. There are fewer shots of prisons in Romania and
Lithuania, which were among the last to be used before they were closed
in 2006.
According the Washington Post, the electronic images depict external
and internal shots of facilities where the CIA held al-Qaeda suspects
after 9/11, but they do not show detainee interrogations, including the
torture of some suspects who were subjected to waterboarding and other
brutal techniques.
They do include images of naked detainees during transport, according
to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the
material remains classified.
