Abstract:
Following the judgment delivered on December 13, 2012, by the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (the Court) in the case of El-Masri v. “the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia” (application no. 39630/09)[2], the Court issued a significant order in a similar case against Poland. Since May 2011, the Court has been looking into a complaint by Saudi national Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri,[3] who alleges he was secretly detained at a Polish intelligence training base in the northeast of the country from December 2002 to June 2003.[4]
