Summary

Description
  • Description: Extraordinary renditions allegedly have been carried out from the countries in dark blue; detainees have allegedly been transported through those in light blue; to the countries in red. The United States and countries with suspected CIA black sites are indicated. Sources: Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Black sites on Wikipedia

Despite the wealth of allegations, I'm keeping this list to individually described cases for extraordinary rendition. Black sites are (by and large denied) allegations, so they appear regardless. -- Carwil

More source details: Extraordinary rendition origin: "Most of them were detained in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq, but others were transferred from countries including Albania, Bosnia, Croatia, Gambia, Indonesia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Libya, Pakistan, Macedonia, Malaysia, Sudan, Tanzania, and Zambia." Amnesty International [1] Sweden-see Wikipedia page. South Africa: [2] [3]

Extraordinary rendition destination: "It has been estimated that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), often using covert airplanes leased by fictional front companies,(9) has flown hundreds of war on terror suspects to countries including Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Syria." Amnesty International [4] Yemen-Amnesty International USA [5]

Extraordinary rendition en-route stops: 'The Temporary Committee also found evidence of at least 1245 flights by CIA aircraft that stopped over on European territory. These included 336 stopovers in Germany, 170 in UK, 147 in Ireland, 91 in Portugal, 68 in Spain, 64 in Greece, 57 in Cyprus, 21 in Romania and 11 in Poland. Out of those, several flights had the U.S. detention facility in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba as their origin or destination, including flights that stopped over in Germany, Spain, Portugal, Romania and Poland." EU Must Oppose Further Complicity with U.S. Rendition Program According to Amnesty International

Azerbaijan: "The Human Rights Watch briefing, “Cairo to Kabul to Guantanamo: the `Abd al-Salam `Ali al-Hila Case,” details how al-Hila, a Yemeni intelligence colonel and businessman who had been involved in helping Arab Islamists in the 1990s, was first picked up by Egyptian authorities while on a business trip in Cairo on September 19, 2002. According to authorities in Yemen, and al-Hila’s brother, he was taken within ten days to Baku, Azerbaijan, then on to the Bagram air base in Afghanistan, and, finally, sometime in mid-2004, to the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba." Human Rights Watch, Guantanamo: New “Reverse Rendition” Case

Gambia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mauritania, Malawi, Thailand, Yemen: per cases described in Amnesty International Australia, Travelling to Torture - Paths to Secret Detention.

Horn of Africa: "Human Rights Watch’s recent research in Kenya indicates that since late December 2006, Kenyan security forces arrested at least 150 individuals from some 18 different nationalities at the Liboi and Kiunga border crossing points with Somalia. The Kenyan authorities then transferred these individuals to Nairobi where they were detained incommunicado and without charge for weeks in violation of Kenyan law. ... US and other national intelligence services interrogated several foreign nationals in detention in Nairobi, who were denied access to legal counsel and their consular representatives. At least 85 people were then secretly deported from Kenya to Somalia in what appears to be a joint rendition operation of those individuals of interest to the Somali, Ethiopian, or US governments." Human Rights Watch, People Fleeing Somalia War Secretly Detained, March 30, 2007.

Possible black sites: "There have been persistent reports that the USA operates secret detention centres in Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, Thailand, Uzbekistan and other locations in Eastern Europe(13), as well as on the British Indian Ocean territory of Diego Garcia(14)."

If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “ExtRenditionMap.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
