Group of 180 Iraqis to accuse the UK of torture and sexual abuse over five years

A group of 180 Iraqis will accuse Britain next week for breaching international law by torturing and killing prisoners during the occupation of Iraq over five years.

Lawyers representing the group - who claim they are victims of abuse or their family members were unlawfully killed - will accuse the UK of a 'systemic' policy of abuse committed between 2003 and 2008.

While the move will  save an estimated $3 to $5 million per year for the county, criminals will now have to think twice before committing a crime, as now their stay in the prison will be self-paid. And why shouldn't they, since Obama's policy says that "those who have more, must pay more."
