The payouts come as Amnesty International is urging the European Union to take action over the CIA’s rendition flights and secret prisons on European soil. In a new report, Amnesty says the E.U. has failed to hold member states to account for participating in the Bush-era rendition and torture program. Amnesty International’s Julia Hall said accountability in Europe would put pressure on the Obama administration to follow suit.

Julia Hall: “You know, the real question is how long can the U.S. hold out. With all this information coming out, with such determined advocates, with civil society making noise about it, how long can the U.S. hold out? If the E.U. were to add its voice, it would be another pressure point that the U.S. would have to then respond to. And we can only hope that they will do it.”
