 Multi-national forces in Iraq arrested 2,300 "terrorists" during August and released 1,085 suspects following interrogation. A statement issued by the forces said that the suspects had been detained for executing operations against coalition and Iraqi forces, adding that around 50 percent of them were released after interrogation for lack of substantial evidence. It added that a just and unbiased system is applied to those in detention, where they receive care in accordance with international regulations and Geneva Convention. |
