After last year's UN report on evidence of torture in several Afghan prisons, the NATO-led international forces (ISAF) suspended the transfer of detainees to Afghan facilities, were they could be subject to torture or ill-treatment and established a monitoring program for detainee transfers. However, this program does not apply for U.S. forces outside the ISAF command chain.
The report has stated that there is evidence of torture and ill-treatment in several cases such as “beatings, suspension from the ceiling, electric shocks, threatened or actual sexual abuse, and other forms of mental and physical abuse” as well as evidence of other violations of detainees’ rights under the custody of Afghan intelligence and police services.
