Ex-detainees allege Bagram abuse

Ex-detainees allege Bagram abuse

By Ian Pannell
BBC News, Kabul

Allegations of abuse and neglect at a US detention facility in Afghanistan have been uncovered by the BBC.

A number of former detainees have alleged they were beaten, deprived of sleep and threatened with dogs at the Bagram military base.

The BBC spoke to 27 ex-inmates around the country over two months. Just two said they had been treated well.

The Pentagon has denied the charges and insisted that all inmates in the facility are treated humanely.

<...>

They were held at various times between 2002 and 2008. They were all accused of belonging to or helping al-Qaeda or the Taliban.

None was charged with any offence or put on trial - some even received apologies when they were released.

1. Read Jane Mayer's "The Dark Side" there is no "alleging" about it
