Terror suspect's lawyers demand probe of treatment in former CIA site in Poland

A human rights organization and lawyers for a Saudi man accused in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole demanded Tuesday that Polish prosecutors investigate the terror suspect's detention and treatment at a CIA prison once housed in Poland.

A Polish attorney working in conjunction with the Open Society Justice Initiative group filed a lengthy petition Tuesday in Warsaw with prosecutors.

Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri is the first detainee subjected to the CIA's detention and interrogation program who has taken legal action in Poland, said Amrit Singh, the justice initiative's senior legal officer. Mikolaj Pietrzak, who represents al-Nashiri in Poland, told The Associated Press he filed the petition.

Polish prosecutors have already been examining the country's involvement in a now-shuttered U.S. system of secret prisons around the globe. Inside the so-called black sites, terror detainees were exposed to harsh interrogation methods such as the simulated drowning technique of waterboarding — a practice that critics have called torture.
