Poland ‘ended brutal interrogation’
Print Edition
POLAND’S former president publicly acknowledged for the first time yesterday that his country hosted a secret CIA prison where a US Senate report says torture was used against al-Qaida suspects.
Aleksander Kwasniewski said that as president he put pressure on the United States to end brutal CIA interrogation at the secret prison on Polish soil in 2003.
“I told (then US president George W.) Bush that this cooperation must end and it did end,” Kwasniewski told local media.
Kwasniewski, president between 1995 and 2005, said he raised Polish concerns over CIA activities in Poland face-to-face with Bush at the White House in 2003.
“The Americans conducted their activities in such secrecy, that it raised our concern. Polish authorities acted to end these activities and they were stopped under pressure from Poland.”
