In July this year, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) passed judgements in cases of Al-Nashiri and Abu-Zubaydah against Poland. In both judgements, the ECHR decided that Poland violated a series of human rights, including the prohibition of torture, the right to a fair trial, the right to liberty and security of person. The ECHR also noted the Polish government\u2019s lack of cooperation in the proceedings and, thus, a violation of Article 38 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (Convention).<\/p>\n
According to advocate Miko\u0142aj Pietrzak, who represents Al Nashiri, the case of alleged CIA prisons in the Polish territory is a matter of Polish democracy, the rule of law and the Polish Constitution. In his view, Poland witnessed a criminal violation of elementary rights and freedoms expressed in the Convention and the Polish Constitution, and the pending pre-trial proceedings proved to be ineffective.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is still possible to conduct efficient pre-trial proceeding in Poland and reveal what happened. It should entail the presentation of the evidence material and identification of the mechanisms which failed,\u201d says advocate Miko\u0142aj Pietrzak.<\/p>\n
The interview was published in the November issue of Edukacja Prawnicza.<\/p>\n
