A British soldier patrols in Iraq, 2004
TWO Iraqi men who were detained and allegedly abused by British soldiers before being handed over to US forces cannot be told which units captured them, the High Court ruled today.
The men, known only as HTF and ZMS, were both captured by British forces in separate operations in Iraq in 2008.
HTF alleges that, after he was arrested in Basra in June of that year, he was transferred to various US detention facilities where he was deprived of sleep, held in solitary confinement and sexually assaulted.
