ኢትዮጵያ ሲአይኤ የቶርቸር ፕሮግራም ከሚፈጽምባቸው 54 ሀገራት አንዷናት…

የአሜሪካው የስለላ ተቋም CIA የሚፈልጋቸውን ሰዎች ለመያዝ፣ ለማሰር፣ ለማጓጓዝ፣ ለመከታተል እና ለማሰቃየት ሰፊ የሆነ መረብ መዘርጋቱን ፎክስ ዶት ኮም የተሰኘ የወሬ ምንጭ አስነብቧል፡፡

CIA ዓለም አቀፍ አሸባሪዎች ናቸው ያላቸውን ሰዎች ለመያዝ እና ለማጓጓዝ 54 ሀገሮችን እንደሚጠቀምም ተመልክቷል፡፡

ምንም አንኳ 54ቱም ሀገራት የሲአይኤን የቶርቸር ፕሮግራም በቀጥታ ባይደግፉም በተዘዋዋሪም የዚሁ ፕሮግራም ማስፈጸሚያዎች መሆናቸውን ድረገጹ ዘግቧል፡፡

ከዚህም ባለፈ ሲአይኤ ካለ ሀገራቱ ፈቃድ የሚፈልጋቸውን ሰዎች በመያዝ እና በማዘዋወርም እንደሚሰራ ተገልጿል፡፡

ይህ ካርታም የሲአይኤ የቶርቸር ፕሮግራም በፍላጎትም ይሁን ያለ ፍላጎት የሚፈጸምባቸውን ሀገራት ያሳያል...The CIA torture program was even bigger than the details released in the Senate Intelligence Committee torture report might suggest. The reason is that the CIA didn't just have its own torture program, run out of its "black site" secret detention and torture prisons broad. It also used a vast network of other countries to help capture, detain, transport, and, yes, torture detainees.

That network is best shown by looking at the CIA's extraordinary rendition program. This is the program under which the CIA would detain and transport suspected terrorists with the help of foreign governments. In all, a stunning 54 countries participated in the CIA-run rendition program. Here they are:

All 54 countries that participated in the CIA's rendition program (Anand Katakam)

Whether or not all 54 of those countries are complicit in the CIA torture program is debatable. The program could work in a number of different ways; each of these countries supported the CIA's rendition program, but not every country directly participated in torture.

Sometimes the detainees were captured by the CIA with the help of foreign governments, sometimes captured entirely by foreign governments, which would then hand them over. Sometimes they were shipped to CIA-run black sites in foreign countries, and sometimes handed off to foreign intelligence agencies that would detain and torture them in their own facilities. Sometimes, more modestly but still consequentially, friendly foreign governments would help the CIA in finding, arresting, or transporting suspected terrorists.

But the point of this map is that, however vast and shadowy the CIA's torture program was, the agency's associated and often-linked program of extraordinary rendition was even vaster and more shadowy. There is, and will probably forever remain, a great deal about the CIA's post-9/11 programs that is still unknown.

Islamabad: Pakistan is among the 10 worst countries along with Iran and China on the index of internet freedom, according to a global survey released today.

Freedom House released its 'Freedom on the Internet 2014' report, which surveyed 65 countries and listed the index on obstacles to internet access, limits placed on internet content, and violations of internet user rights.

It showed Pakistan at 10th position, one step down from the 11th worst in 2013, an increase in the restrictions imposed on the internet.

Its gradual fall during the past four years continues when it was 13th from the bottom in 2011.

Majority among the top ten worst countries are from Asia, including Iran, Syria, China, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

Only Cuba and Ethiopia are two others non-Asian among the top ten, placed at fourth and fifth positions.

The report cites cases of internet abuse in 2014 including killing of three persons for being gay by a man who used social media to identify their sexual orientation.

It says a judge in Punjab sentenced a Christian couple to death for blasphemy in relation to a text message they deny sending, while a lawyer defending a professor for alleged blasphemous FaceBook post was killed.

The report shows that the limitations on content were unchanged and the popular video-sharing YouTube remained blocked on government orders since September 2012.

Nighat Daad of the Digital Rights Foundation, which collaborated in the preparation of report, said internet censorship does not augur well for the democratic system of the country.

"Pervasive and increased government control on the internet whether in form of censorship or with new surveillance tactics, is limiting freedom of expression and amplifying self-censorship among the internet users in Pakistan," she said.
