UK High court lifts gag on media to report Iraqi abuses


news.bbc.co.uk
A legal order which had stopped the media from reporting allegations of torture by British troops in Iraq has been lifted by the High Court.
The abuse is said to have taken place after British soldiers were ambushed between Basra and Amara in May 2004.

After the exchange of fire that followed, 31 Iraqis were reportedly taken into British custody at Abu Naji.

Their families allege that 22 of them died and nine were tortured. The MoD denied any wrongdoing by UK troops.

Iraqi death certificates are said to state that the dead Iraqis showed signs of torture and mutilation.

Well, not only is the media gagged, but they are completely directed as to what they should choose for acceptable fodder to feed us, by the corporations who own them. 'Free' press is nothing more than a fallacy. The press is nothing more than a corporate sponsored control tool anymore.
