CID Report: 0573-2004-CID023-67403

Dec. 5, 2004 | CID | ACLU-RDI 113

An investigation finding probable cause to believe that two U.S. soldiers committed the offense of assault when they punched and kicked a local detainee whom they picked up at a roadblock and transported to an Iraqi prison. A sergeant took pictures and a video of part of the abuse.  (The alleged abuse likely occurred between August and October 2003.) The soldiers watched Iraqi police abuse the detainee at the prison, including kicking him in the ribs, before they left him there. A Commander's Report notes that two soldiers were reprimanded for "Failure to Obey General Order."  No action appears to have been taken with respect to the charge of "Assault."
