USA: Remedy and accountability still absent: Mohammed Jawad subjected to cruel and inhuman treatment in Guantánamo, military judge finds

In a ruling dated 24 September 2008, a military judge has concluded that Guantánamo detainee Mohammed Jawad was subjected in Guantánamo in May 2004 to “abusive conduct and cruel and inhuman treatment. However, the judge has provided no real remedy. Amnesty International continues to call for full and impartial investigations into the human rights violations to which Mohammed Jawad and other detainees in US custody have been subjected and for those responsible to be brought to justice.
