Between early 2009 and July 2010 United States handed thousands of prisoners to Iraqi authorities under an agreement with the Baghdad government, according to a September report by Amnesty International. He did, despite knowing about the torture that Iraqi security forces committed in the country's prisons, according to information contained in the roles of Iraq. Hundreds of files describe in detail the mistreatment, abuse and even some suspicious deaths in Iraq cells.
It is the story of the brutality that was consummated behind bars beyond the horrors of Abu Ghraib, and is also evidence of how U.S. commanders turned a blind eye to allegations of its own soldiers. The phrase that is repeated in the document leaves no doubt: "If coalition forces are not involved in the alleged abuse, you do not follow in the investigation."
This phrase appears in a document dated 25 September 2006 referring to police abuses committed against an Iraqi detainee who later was given to the Marines in the town of Haditha, west of the country. The name of the place revived the memory of one of the most brutal episodes of the war in Iraq: the killing of 24 civilians by a group of Marines on 19 November 2005. According to witnesses, the Americans opened fire on a group of civilians, mostly women and children, in retaliation for the death of a partner.
A Pentagon spokesman said yesterday the U.S. newspaper The New York Times that U.S. policy on abuse is consistent with international law imposed, he said, to testify to the facts that have to be investigated by the Iraqi authorities.
However, according to Amnesty International, USA, as a signatory to the Convention against Torture United Nations is not only responsible for what their military, but also that released prisoners are not abused in countries assume their custody.Complaints ignored
- The hundreds of references to beatings, whipping and burns suffered by the detainees testify that it was not isolated cases. The U.S. policy is summarized in the phrase that is repeated in the archives. "If coalition forces are not involved, no need further investigation."
