Human Rights Watch has released a report finding that Iraq and authorities in the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) are alleged to be forcibly detaining about 1500 children for association with ISIL and that torture is being allegedly used on some of them to extract confessions.
Abuses against Children Suspected of ISIS Affiliation in Iraq | HRW
While some of the children may have been minors under arms in the service of ISIL, the vast majority are being charged with simply being associated with the organisation. The alleged use of torture to extract confessions of these children calls into question the legitimacy of this process and the validity of the results of the prosecutorial process.
This is not cool and people of the world must put great pressure on Iraq and the KRG to stop and reverse this miscarriage of justice. I say the people of the world because the governments of many states seem quite willing to let this and other legal abuses by Iraq and the KRG go on unopposed. Iraq and the KRG are busy hanging ISIL captives including women brides of ISIL fighters after giving them pro-forma mock trials with large batches of defendants tried and condemned to death in minutes.
Cheers?
