CID Report: 0216-03-CID259-61211

Jan. 30, 2004 | CID | ACLU-RDI 37
CID report and accompanying documents related to an investigation into the mistreatment of a female Iraqi prisoner at Abu Ghraib prison on October 7, 2003. The female prisoner stated that she was taken out of her cell and brought to an empty cell where once inside one "one of the soldiers held her hands behind her back while another soldier forcefully kissed her" and then the "soldiers took her out of the cell and took her downstairs, where they showed her a naked Iraqi man and told her that if she did not do what they said, then they would take her clothes off and make her look like the Iraqi man. She was then escorted back to the abandoned cell upstairs where she was forced to get on her knees and raise her arms and hands over her head where the "skinny white male without glasses, removed her shirt, leaving her in her bra" the detainee stated she began to cry and the soldier through her shirt at her and started cursing at her. She stated that she was then taken back to her cell. [The Commander's reports at the beginning of this document list the CID number as 61121. This appears to be a typo.]
