Newly published Amnesty report suggests Shannon may be complicit in the illegal "extraordinary rendition" of detainees to foreign nations conducted by US aircraft.

A report issued by Amnesty International on the 31 May warns that "media and other reports state that Frankfurt, Mallorca and Shannon airports are known stop-off points for unmarked CIA jets carrying irregular renditions. Member States that allow their territory to be used for stop-overs are colluding in serious breaches of human rights."
