US-Installed Iraqi Health Ministry Said To Be Operating Torture Cells

The “Ministry of Health” in the US-appointed regime in Baghdad operates detention and torture cells inside the “Health Ministry” building to interrogate those employees whose loyalty comes into question according to a report by Quds Press.

Sources told the London-based Quds Press news agency that four Iraqi physicians had been arrested by the Iraqi puppet police in Medical City Hospital on Wednesday, 31 August 2005. Medical City in Baghdad is one of the largest hospitals in the country.

The sources reported that the Iraqi puppet police locked up the doctors in a cell inside the “Ministry of Health” building on the pretext that they were “Wahhabi” fundamentalists – even though two of the four were Shi‘ah.
