Mohamed v. Jeppesen Dataplan, Inc.
Mohamed et al. v. Jeppesen Dataplan, Inc. is a case brought by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on behalf of five victims of extraordinary renditions against Jeppesen Dataplan, Inc., which had provided services that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) used to perform renditions.
==Background==
According to an article that appeared in October 2006 in ''The New Yorker'', the CIA is a Jeppesen customer. The article claims that the company has provided navigational and logistics support to the agency's extraordinary rendition program. The article says Jeppesen provided "flight plans, clearance to fly over other countries, hotel reservations, and ground-crew arrangements" to the CIA. According to the article, an unnamed former employee quoted Bob Overby, Jeppesen's managing director, as saying at a meeting, "We do all of the extraordinary renditions flights—you know, the torture flights. ... Let's face it, some of those flights end up that way... It certainly pays well."
On November 16, 2006, Amnesty International staged a demonstration in front of the company's International Trip and Flight Planning Office in San Jose, California to protest their involvement in the rendition program.〔(Demonstration at Jeppesen Corporation in San Jose, California ). Amnesty International.

The group also holds a weekly vigil at the company's offices.〔(Silicon Valley News Notes: Icecapade ). Metro Newspapers. December 13, 2006.〕
