UN Human Rights Council to certainly discuss use of torture by CIA - Churkin

MOSCOW, December 24 /TASS/. Konstantin Dolgov, the Russian Human Rights Ombudsman for Human Rights, Democracy and Rule of Law, called for publishing thousands of pages of information on torture at US prisons.

"A torture report (on torturing inmates by US security services) contains slightly over 500 pages which have been declassified. Thousands of pages remain secret, and one can only guess what is contained in them,” Dolgov said in an interview aired by the Rossiya-24 TV news channel on Wednesday.

“The world community should seek that Washington publish all the truth. The United States has not only violated its international commitments but also the principles and norms in the field of human rights and banned methods of torture,” Dolgov said.

“Representatives of the US intelligence community and security services who tortured inmates went as far as threatening their families, including children,” the Russian Foreign Ministry human rights ombudsman stressed.
