Tens of thousands of people have been held “arbitrarily” in Iraq since the start of the US-led invasion in March 2003, creating a situation that is ripe for abuse, Amnesty International has said.

‘Abritrary’ detention fuelling ‘dire’ situation in Iraq: Amnesty
Most of those held were neither charged nor faced trial and had no basic right to challenge their detention, the London-based human rights group said as it launched a new report Beyond Abu Ghraib: Detention and Torture in Iraq.

Francais ou France [Guyane/Guiana Fr. & Is. Reunion] Le Premier ministre irakien, Nouri al Maliki, a annoncé mardi qu'il va libérer 2.500 prisonniers détenus par erreur ou malgré l'absence de preuves convaincantes à leur encontre. Il a indiqué que ceux qui seront libérés ne sont ni des fidèles de Saddam Hussein ni des terroristes et qu'ils n'ont pas de sang irakien sur les mains. Maliki a pris ses fonctions le 20 mai à la tête d'un gouvernement d'union nationale, en s'engageant à réconcilier les différentes communautés et à en finir avec l'insurrection sunnite. Il a précisé que, dans un premier temps, 500 personnes seront libérées mercredi. Attentats, tirs de mortier et autres fusillades ont par ailleurs fait 15 morts à Bagdad, mardi.

English: United Kingdom/Great Britain [S. Georgia & Sandwich Is] The prime minister of Iraq, Nuri al-Maliki, has announced that his government will free 2,500 prisoners, starting with 500 on Wednesday. The prime minister says that none of those to be released will be Saddam Hussein loyalists, terrorists or people with Iraqi blood on their hands. The prisoners are in both Iraqi and U.S. custody. Detentions are a major cause of popular discontent in Iraq. Last month, the UN reported that there are almost 29,000 prisoners in Iraq, some of whom have been tortured or otherwise abused. With Mr. al-Maliki still unable to fill the cabinet posts of ministers of interior and defence, the violence continues. Police in Baquba north of Baghdad say they found nine heads in cardboard crates. Three days ago, they announced the discovered of the heads of seven cousins and a Sunni imam laying by a roadside.
