Amerikaanse en Britse soldaten zouden Irakese krijgsgevangen gemarteld hebben.

Een ondervrager van Amnesty International zegt dat hij tenminste 20 ex-gevangenen ondervroeg dat ze geslagen werden tijdens hun gevangenschap.

"Researcher Said Boumedouha said at least one man said he had received electro-shock torture."

"Mr Boumedouha estimated up to half of the 20 people he interviewed were civilians and the rest military."

"He said: "In one case we are talking about electric shocks being used against a man and in others people are being beaten for the whole night and are still being kicked and their teeth broken, I think you would call that torture."
