The US justice department is calling for about a dozen prisoner abuse cases to be reopened, US media say. The recommendation could lead to the prosecution of CIA employees and contractors over the treatment of terrorism suspects, the reports say.

A message from Amnesty International:
 
"In short, we've seen small positive steps, but the bigger picture remains deeply disturbing: limited investigations, impunity for those most responsible for authorizing crimes of torture, and policies like international rendition and illegal detention remaining on the books.
Call on President Obama and Congress to end and ensure accountability for torture and other human rights violations."
