They stated that they had been made s:: on their knees for long hours while handcuffed in the back, that they had endured frequent beating on

parts of the body, incl ...:ding the genitals, while hooded, and that they nad been subjected to sleep dhprivation. A method described in the allegations consisted in forcing persons deprived ct the__ liberty to lie face down, their hands cuffed behind their back and shackled to their ankles for two to three boars. While in this position, soldiers would allegedly insert in'their mouths cloths full of dust and hot pepper, • One person deprived of his liberty arrested on 21 August alleged that he had been hooded, beaten and placed naked in front of an air conditioning machine while cold water was thrown on his body. A dog, initially with a muzzle, attached him with its paws and then bit him on the right thigh (according to the examination of the ICRC doctor, he had marks compatible with a dog bite). In the right shoulder he had a hepatoma and _;near marks compatible with repeated whipping cr beating. He had wrist marks compatible withtight fieri-cuffs. The ICRC also collected allegations of deaths as a result of harsh internment conditions, ill - treatment, lack of medical attention, or the combination thereof, notably in Tikrit holding area formerly known as the Saddam Hussein Islamic School.
