STEPHEN KENNY: I'm not in a position to be able to detail what those abuses are, but I can say that they are not simply the abuses of stress and duress techniques and the manner in which David Hicks is being held in Guantanamo Bay.
I'm referring to specific incidences that I believe were not just the actions of individual guards, but rather a well known activity that must have been authorised by some reasonably high up people in the chain of command of the US forces.

NANCE HAXTON: Are you able to even give these details of the abuse if you are limited by what the American Government… the conditions they're put on your representation of David Hicks?
STEPHEN KENNY: I may well be, but I cannot believe that they would refuse me permission to speak over something that I consider to be a criminal offence.
