"The man in charge of my section
raped several prisoners, both men and women,"
confirmed the former military commander in a
statement published today in the French daily
Libération. Colonel Areth explained that the U.S.
soldiers "were not the only ones" who committed such
acts, as "there were also Iraqis who raped other
Iraqis".
The Abu Gharib prison command, at
the center of the storm following the revelation or
torture and humiliating treatment accompanied by
photographs, had organized a group of capos from the
common criminals who were responsible for sowing
terror amongst the detainees, revealed the daily.
"They are called the "murakhabine".
Some 25 vigilantes were appointed to each area by
the U.S. soldiers and each one had three criminals
working under their orders. One night, 35 of these
criminals raped a 17-year-old kid," affirmed Areth.
The former soldier explained that the torture and
mistreatment of detainees began after the second
interrogation session if some of the replies did not
coincide with those given during the first session
10 days previously. (EFE)
