This picture was taken by a British soldier in 2004. The Iraqis were interrogated at a British military base. The picture was handed to The Independent newspaper.Does this show British soldiers broke Geneva Conventions?
Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions prohibits the humiliating and degrading treatment of detainees.
The covering of a prisoner's face and rear handcuffing on the ground is a breach of Article 3.
Article 31 of the Geneva Conventions prohibits physical and moral coercion.
The covering of a prisoner's face and rear handcuffing on the ground to support interrogations breaches Article 31
It also breaches Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
It also breaches the UK Army's own rules on the hooding of prisoners.
