Iraqi Prisoner Says UK Nurse Sexually Assaulted Him
An Iraqi prisoner has charged that a UK nurse sexually assaulted him when he was detained at a British military base in Iraq.
The nurse is the first British female soldier to face abuse claims by Iraqi detainees. The claims are among 33 new allegations of torture, male rape and physical mistreatment being probed by the Ministry of Defense.
Father-of-three Hussain Hashim Khinyab, 35, says that after he was arrested by British forces in April 2006, the medic had tried to have sex with him at the Shaaibah logistical camp while he was lying on a hospital bed recovering from an operation.
Mr. Khinyab, say his British lawyers, claims the nurse tried to have sex with him, but stopped when somebody came into the room. She is then said to have pleaded with him not to tell the doctor in charge about the incident.
The claims have echoes of the horrific abuse suffered by Iraqi prisoners at the hands of the US military in 2004, at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison. The enduring image from the acts of cruelty was the photograph of American soldier Lynndie England dragging a naked Iraqi prisoner along the ground like a dog by a lead attached to his neck.
Mr. Khinyab, who will give his lawyers a detailed statement next month, further claims that when he was moved from solitary confinement to the camps detention area, he saw male and female troops having sex with each other in front of him. He says this was done deliberately to humiliate Iraqi prisoners in as insult to their Muslim faith.
