Inquiry into alleged torture of Iraqis by British troops breaks up

search al-Sweady weeks was complaints about how troops killed and tortured Iraqis hearing in 2004

A public inquiry misinformed erupted Thursday after weeks of terrible accusations about British troops have been killed and tortured Iraqis after a fierce shootout in 2004.

search al-Sweady on a 19-year-old Iraqi, and cost around ? 18m to date name, will resume in the fall when they are due to hear from more 200 British military control.

He forced the Ministry of Defence in 2009, after the superior court judges accused him of conduct and serious violations "regrettable" the duty of candor. The inquest heard how the British military police have been slow to investigate the allegations and potentially important forensic evidence in connection with the incident have not yet been provided by the Ministry of Defence.

Nine Iraqis say they were tortured after being taken to a detention center near Basra base Shaybah and stayed there for four months. They say they have been taken, with 20 Iraqis killed, a British base, Camp Abu Naji, after a fierce shootout in what became known as the Battle of Danny Boy, a checkpoint near the British -Majar al-Kabir, north Basra in May 14, 2004.

The battle in which soldiers used their bayonets in the first quarter of struggle began when about 100 armed insurgents attacked a patrol of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and the Princess Royal Regiment of Wales Country .

The Ministry of Defence and the army strongly denied allegations by Iraqi victims and their families. An unanswered question is why the Iraqi dead and wounded were taken to the British base after the battle.

• It has been suggested that the soldiers wanted to know if any of the Iraqis were responsible for the brutal death, a year earlier, six members of the Royal Military Police Majar al-Kabir.

Iraqi witnesses described the "distorted and mutilated bodies, eyes, nose and tongue cut Cut missing" information services. However, a British physician, Dr. Peter Jerreat said demand this week that he saw no evidence of torture or mutilation in the photographs of seven to 20 Iraqi deaths. His injuries were in his opinion held before the men died, probably in the battlefield.

Jerreat examined photographs and DVD men as part of their research, adding that it was possible to give a valid opinion on the nature of injuries pictures, but it was difficult to provide evidence in case of death could not conduct an internal review.

The Situation Room – review

Shoreditch Town Hall, London

"I must study politics and war that my children have the liberty to study mathematics and philosophy," said the president of the United States at the end of the 18th century, John Adams. But what if the son and daughters of other people are victims of their policies and wars? The question arises in this imperfect but intriguing show, created by Oscar Mike young innovative company that divides the public and puts us in the skin those who make decisions on opposite sides during the crisis of the Cold War.

The scenario is that the United States and the USSR were fighting for control of a small country, rich in oil, which became politically unstable, and the show plays cleverly on the parallel between video games and military strategy. As tensions rise, the stakes rise as well. Depending on which side we are, we are guided by both the American Benjamin R Stokely (Simon Carroll-Jones) and Russian Andrey Sergeyevich Budka (Robert Macpherson), convincing both as loyal servants of their respective governments and we must make critical decisions on tactics to try to thwart the opposition. Should we bomb a village to save a city? Is violence or corruption of the best tactic to get away with it?

The room is good in the ethical problems of intelligence activities. There is a lot of information to digest, and the public to keep their wits about them. But the interactive element not only washed, because options are always binary. It's fun, but it feels no emotion, like a game and there is no possibility for the parties to discuss with each other, which would add an important layer that altruism and selfishness collide .

The market potential is considerable, and if the company could find a way to combine the account of a real choice for the public, it could be very exciting. In its current form, however, and the public is sold short.

Letters: Telling tales about work assessment

was more than a little disbelief that we read the defense of John Mackintosh HealthCare Atos in assessing people allocating employment support (letters, April 4). Mackintosh cites the opinion of the National Audit Office as saying the quality of the assessment is only one factor in 0.3% of successful calls. However, it is judged on a single criterion -. The quality of Atos provides information to the Department of Work and Pensions

The DWP has created a process that limits people's ability to present the complexity of their conditions. If Atos assessors were a work halfway decent, could challenge this approach and ensure that people have the right information evaluated them. Evaluations should then lead to the result from the first, instead of people who are forced to call the situation unbearable and review.
also find the ridiculous idea that Atos provides professional service and compassion. The stories we have collected to write two plays, stories and monologues Atos Atos suggest a different experience. All our employees have described the evaluation as degrading and stressful, evaluators act as robots approach checkbox and ignorance of the conditions under which they were assessed

• Atos Healthcare, of course, is to obey orders, and paid handsomely for it. But it is time to end this shameful situation. The completion of the campaign game ESA asked the government to abandon because of ESA and to terminate the contract Atos. As part of this campaign, the collective stories Atos organized a reading of the mass of our future work in Oxford, Lampeter and Cardiff, with videos, podcasts and tweets take all day (atosstories.blogspot.co.uk) .
