Rättvisa i väst 2

För att få en bild av den enorma förändring som skett i Abu Ghraib sedan befrielsen är följande rapport från BBC talande.

“In contrast to the US occupation, there are no Saddam-era photographs from inside Abu Ghraib - but human rights agencies have numerous accounts of the violations witnessed there. Amnesty International reports give some idea of the scale of the brutality - though researchers admit to being unable to provide a full picture because of the regime's secrecy.
• 1998 - 60 people executed in June, mostly detainees from 1991 Shia uprising
• 1999 - At least 100 prisoners executed on 12 October
• 2001 - 23 political prisoners, mainly Shia Muslims, executed in October
In addition to the mass executions, detainees were subjected to extreme torture - including the use of electric shocks, drills and lighted cigarettes on the body; the extraction of fingernails, beatings, mock executions and threats to rape detainees' relatives.”

Glöm inte att så hade det fortfarande sett ut i Abu Ghraib och i otaliga andra Irakiska fängelser om krigsmotståndarna fått som de velat.
