WP: Sworn Statements by Abu Ghraib Detainees [View All]

[Whoa_Nelly]

These documents, obtained by The Washington Post, are the offical English translations of previously secret sworn statements by detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. Some of the names have been withheld from these statements by washingtonpost.com because they are alleged victims of sexual assault. These files are in PDF format.

Some of the descriptions in these statements may be disturbing because of their sexually explicit or graphic nature.

(All sworn statement links are in .pdf format. Have copied part of one here):

Translation of statement by Hussein Mohssein AL-ZAYIADI, Detainne # 19446

Q: When you were on each other, what were the guards doing?
A: They were taking pictures and writing on our asses.

Translation of detainnee, name withheld:

And one of the police he put a stick that he always carries inside my ass, and I felt it going inside me about 2 centimeters, approximately. I started screaming, and he pulled it out and washed it with water inside the room.
