Amnesty International is urging NATO forces in Afghanistan to stop handing prisoners to Afghan security services because it puts the prisoners at risk of torture and other ill treatment. Amnesty says scores of prisoners handed to Afghan’s intelligence service have been subjected to torture and other abuse, including being whipped, exposed to extreme cold and deprived of food. Earlier this year, a group of prisoners in Afghanistan said they were subjected to beatings and electric shocks after Canadian troops handed them over to Afghan officials.
