Europe Risks Going Soft on Torture, Human Rights Institute Says

The German Institute for Human Rights called for the member states of the Council of Europe, the continent's top human rights watchdog, to better control the actions of foreign intelligence services on their territories.

The study also recommended the German government and parliament establish an independent body to improve control of the country's secret services as well as their cooperation with foreign services. It would be tasked both with investigating human rights abuses as well as preventing them in the future.
