في المنتدى الأجتماعي العالمي بنيروبي- شهادة أمرأة عن تجربتها في سجن أبو غريب
" One of the first things the prison translator
asked her was whether she was a Sunni or a Shia. She told them that it didn't matter; that Americans had created the extreme sectarian violence in Iraq. That was when they hit her the first time. The interrogator told her straight away that all she needed to do was cooperate with them and confess to her involvement in supporting Iraqi resistance, and then she would
be let free. She refused, so they took her back to be "educated."
She was tortured- severely. They yanked repeatedly at her hair, starved her, and put her in solitary confinement depriving her of sleep. The American soldiers forced her to take off her clothes and dragged her by her head across the floor."
