Poland to pay compensation for CIA prisons by Saturday

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has ordered Poland to pay compensation to inmates held in secret CIA prisons on Polish soil by May 16, 2015. According to broadcaster Radio Zet, Poland has already launched the payment procedure, but keeps on refusing to admit that such black sites existed. Radio Zet informed that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked the Ministry of Finance to use funds from a special reserve to pay compensation totaling €230,000 to two Guantanamo inmates, who were tortured in Poland. Last year's EHCR ruling also obliged Poland to run a criminal investigation into the black sites.
