Iraq War

In a landmark decision, a U.S. jury has awarded $42 million to three Iraqi men who suffered severe abuse, including electric shocks and beatings, at Abu Ghraib prison during the early years of the Iraq War. The verdict, delivered on Tuesday, holds defense contractor CACI Premier Technology accountable for its role in the infamous abuses at the U.S.-run prison, which became a global symbol of misconduct and human rights violations following the 2003 invasion of Iraq. This ruling is one of the most significant financial judgments to date involving the notorious prison abuses and reflects ongoing accountability. . .
