Three British servicemen are to face courts martial for the war crime of inhuman treatment of detainees in Iraq, it has been announced.
The men have been charged under the International Criminal Court Act 2001, Attorney General Lord Goldsmith said. The servicemen face courts martial in the UK, rather than trials in the Hague where the international court is based. They are among 11 servicemen who face a range of charges in two separate cases arising from incidents in Iraq.
