Greek police 'tortured Afghans'

#7  D, I doubt that the Greek police are randomly picking up kids and "torturing" them.

Really? I wouldn't doubt it. The same way some rapists randomly pick rape-victims to rape, some torturers pick torture-victims to torture. How else would they get their pleasure?

Why isn't this getting Abu Ghraib coverage?

Because, unlike America, Greece hasn't been to the center of the world since the time of Alexander the Great.

#6  In these parts of the world, 17 years old are not children, they are probably war veterants

#5  Maria Kali, director of the Medical Centre for the Rehabilitation of Victims of Torture, described injuries sustained by the Afghans as consistent with torture.

She told the AFP news agency that she personally tended to five children aged 17, while others were treated by other charities.

#4  Mrs. D, I doubt that the Greek police are randomly picking up kids and "torturing" them. If they picked them up, there was a reason behind it. FYI if you resist a Greek cop in public, bystanders are likely to kick your ass BEFORE the cops get a chance. Aris? Any bad cops on the Athens beat?

#3  Torturing children is dispicable.

#2  Oh lighten up. It's not like they put panties on the head of terrorists and prison rapists.

#1  What Greek police with EU human rights guidelines tortured poor muslims. We must have a UN commision. Where is Kofi Anan and the outrage? Many commisions must be formed to study this and bring focus on it. It must now be in the press everyday and any mention of the Greek nation in the press must include this forever.
