57 in Iraq's Interior Ministry Charged With Human Rights Crimes
In news from Iraq, the Washington Post is reporting Iraq's Interior
Ministry has charged 57 employees, including high-ranking officers,
with human rights crimes for their roles in the torture of hundreds of
detainees once jailed in a notorious prison known as Site 4. The
charges mark the first time the present Iraqi government has taken
criminal action against members of its own security forces for
operating torture chambers inside Interior Ministry prisons.
