Amnesty International has expressed concern at the disturbing article and images portrayed in the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet which show American soldiers escorting naked Iraqi men through a park in Baghdad.
The pictures reveal that someone has written the words Ali Baba - Haram(i)(Ali Baba - thief) in Arabic on the prisoners' chests.
The article quotes a US military officer as saying that this treatment is an effective method of deterring thieves from entering the park and is a method which will be used again; another US military officer is quoted as saying that US soldiers are not allowed to treat prisoners inhumanely.
"If these pictures are accurate, this is an appalling way to treat prisoners. Such degrading treatment is a clear violation of the responsibilities of the occupying powers," Amnesty International said on Friday.
"Whatever the reason for their detention, these men must at all times be treated humanely. The US authorities must investigate this incident andpublicly release their findings." ANI
