On May 31, 2018, the European Court of Human Rights ruled in Abu Zubaydah v. Lithuania that Lithuania violated the European Convention on Human Rights when it participated in the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) secret detainee program. According to the press release, the applicant, Abu Zubaydah, alleged that “Lithuania had let the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) transport him onto its territory under the secret extraordinary rendition programme and had allowed him to be subjected to ill-treatment and arbitrary detention in a CIA detention ‘black site.’” Abu Zubaydah is currently being held by the United States at the Guantánamo detention facility in Cuba, but the Court heard evidence from a variety of sources that led it to conclude that “Lithuania had hosted a secret CIA prison between February 2005 and March 2006, that Mr Husayn had been detained there, and that the domestic authorities had known the CIA would subject him to treatment contrary to the Convention. Lithuania had also permitted him to be moved to another CIA detention site in Afghanistan, exposing him to further ill-treatment.” The Court held that Lithuania violated Article 3 (prohibition of torture); Article 5 (right to liberty and security); Article 8 (right to respect for private life); and Article 13 (right to an effective remedy), in conjunction with Article 3.
