Army Memo: Potential Crimes Against Detainees

July 16, 2004 | ACLU-RDI 2310
Discusses incidents of abuse of detainees by Army personnel that have been substantiated. Legal discussion point out that Article 93 does not specifically prohibit these acts, but does prohibit cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment and intent must be determined. In order to find a violation of Article 93, it requires a probable cause determination that the accused was cruel toward, oppressed, or maltreated a person subject to the accused's orders.
