Trumps New CIA Nominee, Gina Haspel, Faces Possible Arrest Warrant in Germany over Torture

[Soph0571]

While Kaleck noted an arrest warrant has not yet been issued at this time, he maintained that the warrant is only part of the message:

"Of course, we ask for an arrest warrant, but we have to ask for much more. I mean, the danger is now that a person who played a prominent role in the torture system of President George W. Bush will use the same methods in future. And so, the message has to be: We have to stop torture. And that means that our governments here in Europe and our judicial authorities do everything possible to communicate to President Trump and the rest of his government that notorious torturers aren’t allowed in this function to enter Europe.
...

And so, maybe this year, maybe next year, she is going to face serious trouble, political trouble, but also trouble with the legal authorities. And that is our task, to maintain this level of troublemaking."
