Scores of suspected ISIS fighters are being held in a cramped jail in Mosul amid claims Iraqi troops committed human rights abuses retaking the city.
Pictures show men huddled together on the floor in 45C heat in a prison with no electricity or ventilation to the south of the war-ravaged city, which was recently free from the terror group’s control.
The images, showing young and old suspected jihadists, emerged as an Iraqi lieutenant revealed the thirst for revenge among army ranks and insisted ISIS militants ‘are not human beings.
He also revealed how he interrogated one suspect before ‘sending him to hell’ and insisted ISIS jihadists who brought terror to the country deserved to die.
The Iraqi officer who oversees the make-shift jail facility said it currently holds some 370 prisoners.
He says authorities were overwhelmed with detainees as Iraqi forces cleared the last neighborhoods of the city earlier this month at the end of a grueling nine-month campaign.
‘Prisoners are infected with diseases, lots of health and skin problems, because they’re not exposed to the sun,’ he said. ‘The majority can’t walk. Their legs are swollen because they can’t move.’ He said a provincial health team checks on the prisoners ‘occasionally.’
More than 1,150 detainees have passed through the prison over the past three months, with 540 sent to Baghdad for further investigation, the officer said.
