Denmark pressed to seek probe into reports of Iraqi child torture

[LibertyorDeath]

The Danish-based International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims (IRCT) has urged the Copenhagen Government to demand an investigation by the US-led coalition forces in Iraq into allegations that children there were being imprisoned and tortured.

The demand comes three days after a similar appeal to the Danish Government, which is part of the US-led military coalition in oil-rich Iraq, from the Danish section of the international aid agency Save the Children. That appeal received no response.



"The Danish Government has to speak out now that these rumours have been confirmed by a recent documentary on Germany's ARD television on the degrading treatment meted out to children imprisoned in Iraq, in violation of international conventions," IRCT spokesman Tue Magnussen told AFP.

We know this happens in war but no one wants to think their people would do it. It maybe a PC thing as I find it hard to see the major TV doing this. Showing any pictures.
