European court faults Lithuania over CIA black site tied to USS Cole suspect
The European Court of Human Rights ruled that Lithuania violated the rights of Abd al-Rahim Hussein al-Nashiri, a Saudi national held in a CIA-operated black site in Lithuania from October 2005 to March 2006. The court found Lithuania responsible for his isolation and transfer despite risks of evidence obtained through torture being used against him in a U.S. military trial.
