June 29, 2004 | CID | ACLU-RDI 121

Investigation into possible abuse in Tikrit, Iraq. A detainee alleged that he had been slapped in the face by an Iraqi interpreter during an interrogation and said that he had been held in a cramped cell with loud music, not allowed food, water, or sleep. He informed a SJA of the incident. After the investigation began, however, the detainee refused to issue a formal complaint against the interpreter and said that the U.S. interrogator had treated him nicely and had stopped the interpreter's slapping. The interpreter denies the allegations, and the investigation is halted.
