CRIMINAL COMPLAINT
TO:

The Honorable John Ashcroft, Attorney General of the United States of America.

RE:

CRIMINAL COMPLAINT SEEKING THE INVESTIGATION AND
PROSECUTION OF U.S. OFFICIALS IMPLICATED IN THE TORTURE OF
DETAINEES.

On this day, the 26th of June, set aside by the international community to
commemorate the observance of Torture Survivors' Day, we call upon the Attorney General
as chief law enforcement official of the United States to take definitive action to deal with
the growing revelations suggesting that U.S. officials at the highest levels may have been
involved in the policy of encouraging the use of torture of suspected terrorist detainees.
Recent revelations published in the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the
New York Times and other authoritative sources indicate that high-level Justice and Defense
Department officials provided written approval of policies authorizing the use of torture to
obtain information from detainees and suggesting that those committing torture could not be
prosecuted. These memoranda provide the most compelling evidence to date that the abuses
at Abu Ghraib prison and elsewhere may not have been the isolated acts of a few, but rather
part of a systemic and officially sanctioned policy of condoning, justifying and encouraging
the use of torture to obtain information from suspected terrorists. Any officials who
participated in establishing this policy acted in violation of legal obligations under U.S. law
and treaty standards binding on the U.S., including the Convention Against Torture and the
Geneva Conventions. Criminal sanctions apply to some of these violations and they must be
investigated and applied.
A number of high-level U.S. officials recently have been identified as being involved
in, promoting or encouraging the use of torture in the treatment of detainees held in Iraq and
other locations. Human rights groups and the press have uncovered enough facts to suggest
that there is a reasonable basis for believing that these abuses were not isolated but part of an
organized and approved policy established by the U.S. government on a more widespread
basis. The facts that have been reported are sufficient to require a full and fair investigation
that will lead to the prosecution of those responsible, including high-level officials that
helped to set this policy in motion.
Identified below is a list of some of the specific officials who have been named as
potentially being involved in establishing or promoting a policy encouraging the use of
torture, as well as a listing of the specific laws and standards that may have been violated.

The World Organization for Human Rights USA (or Human Rights USA for short) is an independent, affiliated national member of the
International World Organization Against Torture and SOS Torture Networks.

We call upon you to immediately institute a criminal investigation of these and all
other individuals who may be involved in the violations of domestic and international
laws that prohibit the use of torture on an absolute basis, with the purpose of filing
criminal charges against those found responsible under the criminal provisions of the
Convention Against Torture as well as other applicable legal requirements. Given the
fact that some of the highest level officials in our Department of Justice may have been
involved in the process of formulating or encouraging the unlawful use of torture, we
further request that you appoint a special attorney to supervise the investigation and any
subsequent criminal prosecutions it may produce, and that you grant that special attorney
the fullest authority and responsibility to carry out their mandate on as independent a
basis as possible. You have the authority to take such a step under 28 USC §§ 515 and
543.
There are a number of applicable laws and legal standards that support the
criminal prosecution and punishment of torture. The United States is duty-bound under
our own laws and international treaty obligations to fully investigate and prosecute all
those who may be responsible for encouraging and participating in acts of torture,
irrespective of their positions of authority and the offices they hold. The credibility of our
efforts to prevent torture and other human rights abuses in other nations, and the safety
and security of our military forces and other citizens abroad who may come under the
control and authority of foreign officials require that we take the allegations that have
been made more seriously, and investigate and prosecute every U.S. official who has
committed or facilitated the commission of torture. Only through a comprehensive effort
to identify and prosecute all of those responsible for the Abu Ghraib abuses and other
instances of torture can we hope to reestablish our nation's credibility as a major promoter
of human rights and the rule of law.
BRIEF LISTING OF OFFICIALS AND CONTRACTORS IDENTIFIED AS
BEING POTENTIALLY INVOLVED IN PROMOTING A POLICY TO USE
TORTURE
Several U.S. officials and contractors have been identified by human rights and
press sources as being potentially involved in promotion, dissemination, and facilitation
of a policy supporting the use of torture as a means of obtaining information from
suspected terrorist detainees.
1. Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense:
• Approved secret Pentagon project using force for interrogation of Al-Qaeda
suspects to be used against detainees in Iraq. Seymour M. Hersh, The Gray Zone,
The New Yorker, May 24, 2004.
• Ordered military officials in Iraq, in November 2003, to hold a detainee off the
prison rolls in order to prevent the International Committee of the Red Cross from
monitoring his treatment, in violation of international law. Additionally, prisoners
reportedly are being held in at least a dozen facilities which operate in secret,
hidden from Red Cross monitoring. Eric Schmitt and Tom Shanker, Rumsfeld

torture.
An August 1, 2002, Justice Department memorandum advised the White House
torture “may be justified,” and that international laws prohibiting torture “may be
unconstitutional if applied to interrogations” conducted in the war on terrorism.
The memorandum was signed by Assistant Attorney General Jay S. Bybee. Dana

and Eric Schmitt, Lawyers Decided Ban on Torture Didn’t Bind Bush, The New
York Times, June 8, 2004.
A January 9, 2002, Justice Department memorandum gave arguments to keep US
officials from being charged with war crimes and arguments for avoiding
jurisdiction of the Geneva Conventions. Memorandum from John Yoo and Robert
J. Delahunty, “Application of treaties and laws to Al Qaeda and Taliban detainees,”
Jan. 9, 2002; Neil A. Lewis, Justice Memos Explained How to Skip Prisoner
Rights, The New York Times, May 21, 2004.
The New York Times also reported the existence of another Justice Department
memorandum that explicitly said charges of torture could be avoided if the detainee
had been transferred to another country from American custody. This set the basis
for “rendition to torture.” Neil A. Lewis, Justice Memos Explained How to Skip
Prisoner Rights, The New York Times, May 21, 2004.

that the President was not bound by prohibitions against torture, relied heavily on
the August 2002 and January 22, 2002, Justice Department memoranda. Dana

9. Alberto Gonzales, Counsel to the President:
• Issued a January 25, 2002, memorandum to President Bush urging the Bush
administration to declare captives exempt from the protections of the Geneva
Conventions in order to pre-empt war crimes charges and justify the denial of rights
and more extreme forms of interrogation. This memorandum provided a presumed
legal basis for the abuses in Guantanamo and Afghanistan, and, through General
Miller's advice and actions, in Iraq. Memorandum from Alberto R. Gonzales,

10. George J. Tenet, former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
• CIA employees under Mr. Tenet’s supervision and control were directly involved in
the interrogation and abuse of detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan and had knowledge
of the abuses taking place. The Department of Justice is investigating the
involvement of CIA officers and CIA contract employees in three deaths of
detainees, and has indicted one CIA contractor for the death of a detainee in
Afghanistan. Many Abuse Inquiries Under Way, BBC News Online, May 6, 2004;

Iraq Deaths, New York Times, May 6, 2004; Richard A. Oppel Jr. and Ariel Hart,
Contractor Indicted in Afghan Detainee’s Beating, New York Times, June 18,
2004.
• Detainees held at the CIA interrogation center at Bagram air base in Afghanistan,
and subject to CIA supervision, were “kept standing or kneeling for hours in black
hoods or spray-painted goggles… [and] held in awkward, painful positions and
deprived of sleep with a 24-hour bombardment of lights—subject to what are
known as ‘stress and duress’ techniques.” Dana Priest and Barton Gellman, U.S.
Decries Abuse but Defends Interrogations; 'Stress and Duress' Tactics Used on
Terrorism Suspects Held in Secret Overseas Facilities, Washington Post,
December 26, 2002.
• The CIA prompted the Justice Department to write the August 1, 2002, memo,
which advised the White House that torture “may be justified,” and that
international laws prohibiting torture “may be unconstitutional if applied to
interrogations” conducted in the war on terrorism. Michael Hirsch, John Barry, and
Daniel Klaidman, A Tortured Debate, Newsweek, June 21, 2004; Dana Priest and
R. Jeffrey Smith, Memo Offered Justification for Use of Torture, Washington Post,
June 8, 2004; Memorandum from the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Legal
Counsel, “Standards of Conduct for Interrogation under 18 U.S.C. §§ 23402340A,” August 1, 2002.
• A February 2, 2002, memo notes that CIA lawyers asked for an explicit
authorization that Geneva Convention prohibitions did not apply to its operatives.
Neil A. Lewis and Eric Schmitt, Lawyers Decided Ban on Torture Didn’t Bind
Bush, New York Times, June 8, 2004.
• Determined with Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, in November 2003, that an Iraqi
detainee be held off the prison rolls in order to prevent the International Committee
of the Red Cross from monitoring his treatment, in violation of international law.
Additionally, prisoners reportedly are being held in at least a dozen facilities which
operate in secret, hidden from Red Cross monitoring. The ostensible reason for this
and other “secret detentions” is to allow for non-monitored interrogations that
potentially involve abuse. Eric Schmitt and Tom Shanker, Rumsfeld Issued an
Order to Hide Detainee in Iraq, New York Time, June 17, 2004; Rumsfeld, at
Tenet’s Request, Secretly Held Suspect in Iraq, Wall Street Journal, June 17, 2004;

• The CIA operates its own detention centers, separate from the Pentagon’s detention
system such in as Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, hiding detainees from the Red

Since September 11th, the U.S. has quietly transported hundreds of suspects
captured in different parts of the world to Middle Eastern countries for harsher
interrogations. The CIA has transferred detainees to foreign intelligence services
for interrogations and uses the jails of Egypt, Syria, Morocco, and Uzbekistan
where extreme methods such as electric shock and drugs can be used on suspects
with no access to lawyers of prospects of freedom. Dana Priest and Joe Stephens,

LAWS PROHIBITING TORTURE AND ESTABLISHING CRIMINAL
PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS
A number of domestic and international laws prohibit the use of torture on an
absolute basis and establish criminal penalties for violations. United States criminal
courts have jurisdiction over crimes committed by or against a U.S. national on the
premises of any U.S. government mission in foreign countries, including any military and
diplomatic missions. 18 USC §7(9). The Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act grants
jurisdiction over certain federal crimes that are committed by military contractors and
others accompanying the armed forces abroad. 18 USC § 3261.
Convention Against Torture.
The Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading
Treatment or Punishment (CAT) binds parties to take measures to prevent torture within
their respective jurisdiction. Article 2 of the convention states that no exceptional
circumstances whatsoever – including war, threat of war or other emergency – may be
invoked as a justification for torture.
Pursuant to Article 5 of the Convention, the United States has criminalized acts of
torture abroad: "Offense – whoever outside the United States commits or attempts to
commit torture shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years . . . ."
18 USC § 2340A(a).
Conspiracy to commit acts of torture abroad is also covered, "Conspiracy. – A
person who conspires to commit an offense under this section shall be subject to the same
8

penalties (other than the penalty of death) as the penalties prescribed for the offense, the
commission of which was the object of the conspiracy." 18 USC § 2340A(c).
Other Federal Crimes.
Several federal criminal statutes punish the actions alleged to have been
committed throughout the detainee system. These include:
1. Assault. 18 USC § 113.
2. Maiming. 18 USC § 114.
3. Murder. 18 USC § 1111.
4. Manslaughter. 18 USC § 1112.
Some parts of the detainee system may be outside the territorial jurisdiction of
these provisions. However, the criminal code also punishes those who aid, command,
procure and counsel the violations as principals. 18 USC § 2. Similarly, those who
conspire to violate these provisions are also liable. 18 USC § 371. Conspirators and nonpresent principals may have committed their violations within the territorial jurisdiction
of the criminal code.
Uniform Code of Military Justice.
The Uniform Code of Military Justice contains several provisions applicable to
the abuse of detainees in Iraq and the wider war on terror, including but not limited to:
1. Maiming. 10 USC § 924.
2. Assault. 10 USC § 928.
3. Conspiracy. 10 USC § 881.
4. Accessory after the fact. 10 USC § 878.
5. Murder. 10 USC § 918.
6. Manslaughter. 10 USC § 919.
War Crimes Act / Geneva Conventions.
The War Crimes Act of 1996 punishes violations of Article 3 of the Geneva
Conventions and the grave breaches as defined in those Conventions. 18 USC § 2441.
Article 147 of the Fourth Geneva convention lists as grave breaches: wilful killing,
torture or inhuman treatment, wilfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or
health. The common Article 3 calls for blanket humane treatment, and to that end
prohibits: violence to life and person, including murder, mutilation, cruel treatment and
torture; the taking of hostages; and outrages upon personal dignity, such as humiliating
and degrading treatment. There should be no dispute that the Fourth Geneva Convention
Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War applies to Iraq.
Deprivation of Rights.
Violations and conspiracies to violate the rights of detainees established under
U.S. law are prohibited. 18 USC §§ 241, 242.
