Torture in Mali
“The
government of Mali should
investigate allegations that Malian soldiers tortured seven suspected
supporters of Islamist armed groups in Léré, near Timbuktu, Human Rights Watch
said today.
The seven men, all of whom showed visible signs of torture, described to Human Rights Watch being beaten and kicked, burned, injected with a caustic substance, and threatened with death while in army custody between February 15 and March 4, 2013. One said he was subjected to simulated drowning akin to “waterboarding.””
