Canada transferring Afghan detainees to “self-confessed torturers”
The World Socialist Web Site spoke this week with Dr. Amir Attaran, Professor of Law and Population Health at the University of Ottawa.
Dr. Attaran is widely respected for both his work in international law and his contributions to the field of immunology. His writings have been published in Nature, Lancet, the Journal of the American Medical Association and the Yale International Law Journal.
Dr. Attaran’s research and public protests were instrumental in forcing Canadian military and government authorities to launch multiple investigations into the possible abuse of detainees by Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan and in bringing public attention to the Canadian Armed Forces’ practice of transferring prisoners to Afghan security forces—who are notorious for their routine abuse and torture of prisoners.
