Permalink US contractor found liable for Abu Ghraib torture, ordered to pay $42M

Sixteen years after three Iraqi men sued CACI for their torture at Abu Ghraib, a US jury awarded them $42 million in damages. | A federal jury on Tuesday ordered a US defense contractor, CACI Premier Technology Inc., to pay $42 million in damages to three Iraqi men who were tortured at the Abu Ghraib prison, according to their lawyers.  The company was found liable for its role in the abuse of the three men in 2003 and 2004 at the infamous prison, following a lengthy trial, the Center for Constitutional Rights reported.  The center stated that each of the plaintiffs—Suhail Al Shimari, a middle school principal; Asa'ad Zuba'e, a fruit vendor; and Salah Al-Ejaili, a journalist—was awarded $14 million in damages. The three men filed a lawsuit against CACI, a private company based in Arlington, Virginia, in 2008.  Abu Ghraib prison, located west of Baghdad, became a powerful symbol of the horrors of the US occupation of Iraq after evidence surfaced of detainee abuse by US soldiers at the facility.
