Inter-American Commission to Probe Case of Innocent Rendition Victim

HeadlineSep 01, 2009

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights has announced plans to investigate the case of Khalid El-Masri, the innocent German man who was kidnapped and imprisoned by the CIA as part of the government’s extraordinary rendition program. The commission took up the case in response to a petition filed by the American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU tried to obtain justice for El-Masri in the U.S. court system, but the lawsuits were summarily rejected.
