Iraqis subjected to torture by American personnel continue to lack a transparent route for accountability or compensation from the US government, Human Rights Watch says.
Humiliation, abuse and torture
Al Majli said he was sexually humiliated and abused with dogs and water hoses. He said he was released after 16 months without charge but kept biting his hands and wrists to cope with trauma, leaving such scars that he can no longer wear short sleeves. At least 11 US soldiers were convicted of abuses at Abu Ghraib but critics say the punishments were light and that no one in higher authority was prosecuted.
"The US should provide compensation, recognition and official apologies to survivors of abuse and their families," Yager said.
