ECtHR, among other things, requested the Polish Government to confirm whether between 5 December 2002 and 6 June 2003 al-Nashiri was held in a secret prison in the territory of Poland. Poland has also been obliged to provide materials on the basis of which al-Nashiri was granted the status of an injured party in the proceedings conducted by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, and to provide information concerning the existence of an agreement between the governments of Poland and the United States with regard to establishing a CIA prison in Poland.

Al-Nashiri lawyers filed an application with the ECtHR in May last year (application No 28761/11). After that, in July 2012 the ECtHR communicated the case to the Polish Government. The charges raised in the application pertain mainly to inhuman treatment of the applicant in the secret prison in Stare Kiejkuty, his illegal transfer to a country where he faces a death sentence, as well as the ineffectiveness of Polish proceedings aimed at explaining the circumstances of al-Nashiri stay in Poland.
