Jordanian reporter Lima Nabil told The Independent’s foreign correspondent Robert Fisk that “In Abu Ghraib, women were tortured by the Americans much more than the men. One woman said she witnessed five girls being raped. Most of the women in the prison were raped – some of them left prison pregnant. Families killed some of these women – because of the shame.”
Supporting Nabil is a “‘very accurate source in Washington’ in close contact with military personnel has confirmed ‘terrible stories of gang rape’ by US forces at the now-notorious prison. The unnamed source told Fisk that images of women being raped were behind the Obama administration’s decision not to release any more pictures of abuses at Abu Ghraib,” writes Daniel Tencer at The Raw Story.
