In an earlier report HRW found evidence of mass arrests, arbitrary detention and torture at the facility within Baghdad’s International Zone. Based on reports of witnesses, Justice Ministry officials, lawyers and a letter by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), which documents the methods of torture used inside Camp Honor prison, it is very likely that the facility is still in use.
Therefore HRW request the Government to “appoint an independent judicial commission to investigate continuing allegations of torture and other ill-treatment, disappearances, and arbitrary detention in Camp Honor and elsewhere”.
