german1 complaint.pdf Complaint "Do you know how to swim?" said L, bending over me. "We're going to teach you. Take him to the tap!" Together they picked up the plank to which I was still attached [after electric shock torture] and carried me into the kitchen. Once there, they rested the top of the plank, where my head was, against the sink. Two or three Paras held the other end. The kitchen was lit only by a weak light from the corridor. In the gloom, I could just make out the faces of S, C and Captain D, who seemed to have taken over the direction of these operations. L fixed a rubber tube to the metal tap which shone just above my face. He wrapped my head in a rag, while D said: "Put a wedge in his mouth." With the rag already over my face, L held my nose. He tried to jam a piece of wood between my lips in such a way that I could not close my mouth or spit out the tube. When everything was ready, he said to me: "When you want to talk, all you have to do is move your fingers." And he turned on the tap. The rag was soaked rapidly.

german4.pdf Section 5.1: Abuse Of Prisoners As Torture And War Crimes 1 5. Substantive Legal Assessment 5.1 Abuse of Prisoners as Torture and War Crimes under Sec. 8 of the CCIL and International Law The crimes described above against detainees at Abu Ghraib and the plaintiffs al Qahtani and Mowsboush constitute torture and war crimes under German and international criminal law. Therefore, sufficient evidence exists of criminality under Sec. 8 I nos. 3 and 9 CCIL. The following will provide a detailed legal analysis of the prohibitions in the CCIL and international law that were violated by the above-described acts. First, it will note the way in which two high-ranking members of the U.S. government dealt with the traditional torture techniques of water boarding and longtime standing, which is significant from the plaintiffs perspective. In their publicly documented statements, both of government officials reveal a high degree of cynicism, coupled with ignorance of historical, legal and medical contexts. Water Boarding and Longtime Standing In the course of an in

german7 complaint in germa n part2.pdf Complaint In German, Part 2 207 5. Materiell-rechtliche Würdigung 5.1. Die Häftlingsmisshandlungen als Folter und Kriegsverbrechen gemäß § 8 VStGB und internationalem Recht Die oben geschilderten Straftaten gegen inhaftierte Personen in Abu Ghraib sowie die Anzeigenerstatter al Qahtani und Mowsboush stellen nach deutschem und internationalem Völkerstrafrecht Folter und Kriegsverbrechen dar. Daher besteht der hinreichende Tatverdacht für eine Strafbarkeit nach § 8 I Nr. 3, 9 VStGB. Nachfolgend soll detailliert rechtlich analysiert werden, welche Verbotstatbestände des VStGB und des internationalen Rechts durch die oben geschilderten Tathandlungen verletzt wurden. Zuvor soll kurz auf den aus Sicht der Anzeigenerstatter aussagekräftigen Umgang zweier hochrangiger Mitglieder der US-Regierung mit den traditionsreichen Foltertechniken des Water boarding und des Longtime Standing hingewiesen werden.
