Stop abductions

Hundreds of people are feared to have been unlawfully detained and transferred, usually in secret, to countries where they face further human rights violations, including torture or other ill-treatment and enforced disappearance.

Some victims of this practice – known as “rendition” - have ended up in official US detention centres, such as Guantánamo. Others remain disappeared, their fate and whereabouts unknown.

While the US has constructed this network of rendition, secret detention and enforced disappearance, none of this would be possible without the involvement of other governments and security services around the world.

Amnesty International is campaigning for governments to abandon the practices of unlawful transfers, enforced disappearance and secret detention once and for all.

Amnesty International is working for all those responsible for these practices to be held to account.
