Amnesty expert: investigation on CIA secret prisons in Romania needs to be re-opened

Romania needs to reopen the investigation regarding CIA’s secret prisons in Romania, Amnesty International expert Julia Hall said in an interview for RFI. She demands the investigation to be lead by Romania’s general prosecutor and says that the investigation lead by the Parliamentary committee was not efficient, independent nor impartial.

The position of Amnesty is that the Parliamentary investigation in Romania was not efficient, independent or impartial, she said. She added that there has to be a certain degree of transparency. In her opinion, an investigation at the public level needs to exist and if there are national security worries, there are other methods to use and classify information.
