[Rudaw] Nearly two decades later, Iraqis who were tortured by US personnel have yet to be compensated or provided with other redress by the US government, a Human Rights Watch (HRW) report said on Monday.
"Twenty years on, Iraqis who were tortured by US personnel still have no clear path for filing a claim or receiving any kind of redress or recognition from the US government," said Sarah Yager, Washington director at Human Rights Watch.
"US officials have indicated that they prefer to leave torture in the past, but the long-term effects of torture are still a daily reality for many Iraqis and their families," she added. |
