Report: U.S. Holding Over 100 Iraqi Children

HeadlineAug 02, 2004

The Sunday Herald of London is reporting that the U.S. is holding more than 100 children in Iraqi jails including Abu Ghraib and that some of the children are being subjected to rape and torture.

The Sunday Herald’s investigation is based on an internal UNICEF report written in June titled ” Children in Conflict with the Law or With Coalition Forces” and on reports from the Red Cross. UNICEF had found that the US was indefinitely detaining some children without giving them access to their family or the courts.
