Denmark Tells CIA to Stay Out of Danish Airspace
August 29, 2005

The American Central Intelligence Agency can no longer use Danish airspace for flights to transport suspected terrorists around the world.

The government has told the United States that it is opposed to the unauthorized flights, Foreign Minister Per Stig Møller said.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has made it quite clear to U.S. officials that Denmark does not want its airspace used for purposes that are in conflict with international conventions,” wrote Møller, in response to an inquiry from Frank Aaen, the Red-Green Alliance military affairs spokesman .

Reports surfaced in May that civilian aircraft secretly registered to the CIA had been sighted over Denmark. Human rights organizations claim that the planes are used to transport terror suspects to places where torture is conducted.
