Detainee Abuse Photos Related to 0222-04-CID259-80256

DOD | ACLU-RDI 6471
This photo of what appears to be the top of a man’s head relates to the case of an Iraqi detainee who alleged he was tortured while detained by U.S. forces at an unknown facility in Tikrit, Iraq, in April and May of 2004. According to the detainee, American soldiers stripped him naked while he was bound and blindfolded, beat him repeatedly with a cable and stick, held him in a small box, and discarded medication provided to him by Army doctors. The investigation and charges against the accused soldiers were dropped because investigators were not able to collect “sufficient evidence to prove or disprove the allegations.”
