Iraq prison abuse scandals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
About six months after the invasion of Iraq rumors of Iraq prison abuse scandals started to emerge.
The best known abuse incidents occurred at the large Abu Ghraib prison. Graphic pictures of some of those abuse incidents were made public. Less well-known abuse incidents have been documented at American prisons throughout Iraq.
