extraordinary rendition

"Extraordinary rendition" refers to the controversial practice of secretly transferring individuals suspected of terrorism or other crimes from one country to another without any legal proceedings or due process. Often conducted by intelligence agencies or governments, it involves the capture, transportation, and often detention of individuals to countries where they may face torture, interrogation, or prosecution without any oversight or protection of their human rights. Critics argue that extraordinary rendition violates international law, human rights standards, and the principle of presumption of innocence.
