Azerbaijan permitted use of its airports and airspace for flights associated with CIA extraordinary rendition operations, says the report issued by Open Society Foundation's Open Justice Initiative.

Globalizing Torture is the most comprehensive account yet assembled of the human rights abuses associated with CIA secret detention and extraordinary rendition operations. It details for the first time what was done to the 136 known victims, and lists the 54 foreign governments that participated in these operations.

The report says Azerbaijan also arrested an individual who was subjected to secret CIA detention.

“Aircraft linked to the CIA landed in Azerbaijan 76 times between the end of 2001 and the end of 2005.909 Azerbaijan’s capital, Baku, is reported to have been used as a common “staging point” for extraordinary rendition operations, meaning that planes and crews would often meet and prepare there,” it mentions.

“Azerbaijani officials also arrested Saudi Arabian citizen Ahmed Muhammed al- Darbi in June 2002 and transferred him to U.S. custody in August 2002, after which he was transferred to Bagram, Afghanistan and later to Guantбnamo Bay, where he remains imprisoned.”

Among the countries listed as those cooperating with CIA are Turkey, Georgia and Iran. Armenia is not included in the list.
