CIA torture report a ‘good start,’ but child victims of rendition absent Commenting on the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on CIA torture, Clare Algar, Executive Director at international human rights NGO Reprieve said: “This is a good start, but it is far from the whole picture. The names of many victims of rendition and torture are absent – not least that of Khadija al Saadi, who was just 12 years old when she was ‘rendered’ along with her entire family to Gaddafi’s Libya, in a joint CIA – MI6 operation. She, her younger brothers and sister, and so many others are still owed an apology. Instead, those responsible for signing off on her abuse are feted on book tours and chat shows. We are still a long way from acknowledging the horrors of the CIA’s torture programme, and achieving real accountability.”
