I wonder, why were these people transferred from Abu Ghraib?
Geneva/Baghdad (ICRC) - The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has completed its first visit to people held under American authority at the newly extended Camp Cropper internment facility in Baghdad.
Of the approximately 3,550 people held there, most were recently transferred from Abu Ghraib.
A team of 16 delegates, including a medical doctor, carried out the visit in accordance with the ICRC’s standard procedures.The delegates were authorized to talk in private to persons of their choice, to visit all the premises and to discuss detention-related issues with the authorities.
