lpv:translated text	". The recent decisions of the Government of the United States have simply confirmed – as if it were necessary – that which has long been denounced: the existence of a US-sponsored kidnapping, torture and illegal detention network. These decisions must not serve as a whitewash for the responsibility of the United States and of the governments of European Union countries for systematic violations of international law and of the most basic human rights. As before, we must demand a complete end to such ignoble practices and an investigation into the truth, including EU governments’ culpability regarding the use of their airspace and territory to imprison and transfer illegally detained prisoners to, for example, the US military base at Guantánamo Bay. This is all the more necessary in light of reports that the clandestine US operations called ‘extraordinary renditions’ – in other words, the illegal detention and transportation of citizens – have not been called into question by the new US Administration. Accordingly, we are opposed to any agreement between states or between the United States and the EU regarding the ‘transfer of prisoners’ detained in Guantánamo. This does not mean that decisions and requests freely expressed by individuals, specifically for asylum in Portugal, cannot be considered within a framework of respect for national sovereignty, the Portuguese Constitution and international law, including the right to asylum."@en1
