"In law, rendition is a "surrender" or "handing over" of persons or property, particularly from one jurisdiction to another."

I second this question. My understanding was that rendition was the forcible transfer of a person by the US to the intelligence agency of a third country (where they were likely to be tortured). This case is a person whose claim of asylum has been refused, being returned to their country of origin. These are two very different issues

You're thinking of extraordinary rendition.
