The Government was today urged to raise with the United States ambassador urgent concerns about the maltreatment of Iraqi prisoners.
Following the publication of more photographs of Iraqi prisoners being humiliated in US custody, Progressive Democrat Senator John Minihan told the Seanad that Minister for Foreign Affairs Brian Cowen should seek a meeting with Ambassador James Kenny.
“The Minister for Foreign Affairs must seek an urgent meeting with the US Ambassador to convey the views of the Irish people and make our disgust at this behaviour known.”
More devastating photographs of the abuse of Iraqi prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison surfaced yesterday.
