An Iraqi civilian said he believed he was going to die while being beaten by British soldiers in Basra in 2003.
Ahmad al-Matairi told the hearing at Bulford Camp, Wilts, that soldiers from the Queen's Lancashire Regiment took bets on who could make him fall down.
Hotel receptionist Baha Mousa, 26, was arrested during the raid and later died while in British custody.
Seven soldiers have been charged variously with treating Iraqi civilians inhumanely and manslaughter.
"I could not believe that these were criminals from Britain. According to our knowledge it was a civilised country so I could not believe it. We were hit all the time, continuously without knowing the reason why"

Like the time those british baby killing soldiers beat up those Iraqi boys and made a video of it laughing,
and it was only when the video came out 6 months later, that the world actually heard about it, because the video was posted somewhere?
what happened to those men anyway, where did teh sham trial end up?

How can a soldier be guilty if he cant be innocent?

i didnt say guilty eaither did
if your a soldier and are orderd into a war zone your neither
in a war zone when you invade a country you cant expect to be welcomed with open arms hence why they are being blown up by road side bombs and so forth
