[JURIST] Lawyers for a secret detention facility [JURIST news archive] in Lithuania in February 2005, where he was supposedly tortured once again. Despite two previous probes dropped by the Lithuanian government in January 2009, officials have stated that they will consider re-opening a criminal investigation in light of increasing pressure [press release] from human rights groups like Amnesty International [advocacy website]. Lithuania is the only European country to have admitted directly working with CIA officials to provide these secret detention facilities, but nothing else.

The Lithuanian probe is not the first time that Zubaydah has urged countries to examine the often controversial methods of the US rendition program. In December 2010, Zubaydah asked a US Combatant Status Review Tribunal [JURIST report] to investigate his claims of torture. Zubaydah was transferred to Guantanamo Bay [JURIST report] in September 2006 as one of 14 “high value” terror suspects [DNI profile], and has remained there since.
