The image that shamed the US and appalled the world


Iraqi Khayrullah al-Kinzawi, 65, shows the media pictures of the sores and tears on his hands that he suffered while jailed last year, soon after the American invasion of Iraq, during a press conference by human rights groups in Baghdad, Iraq, Sunday May 9, 2004. At the press conference numerous former prisoners came forward to tell of abuse -beatings by soldiers, sleep deprivation - in accounts that resembled those found by U.S. investigators at the notorious prison.
