Iraqi juvenile prisoners complain of abuse and torture (Extra)

Baghdad - Iraqi juvenile prisoners claim they have been abused and tortured by detectives during interrogation, a statement from the office of the Iraqi president said Wednesday. Iraqi television channels broadcast Sunni President Jalal Talbani's visit to a Baghdad juvenile prison, during which children showed him signs of torture on their bodies and complained of ill- treatment in prison. Many of the children have been imprisoned for over four years with no trial, according to media reports. Talbani promised the young prisoners an investigation into the incidents saying that he knew 'the injustice (they) had been subjected to.' 'We promise to follow up your cases until the last innocent prisoner is set free', Talabani said, calling on them to be 'patient.' © 2007 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
