Iraqi torture known to Danish Ministry
According to reports released by WikiLeaks last week, Danish officials continued to hand over detainees to Iraqi authorities until 2005, despite reports of torture in the country’s prisons dating back to 2003.
In an article by Politiken, former Foreign Minister and current Social Liberal Defence Policy Spokesman Niels Helveg Petersen said, “It shows that all the system’s red lights were on. And instead of doing something about it, the government was compliant and didn’t act. A scandal.”
