Iraq: Learning From The US
Sunni Woman Says She Was Raped by Shiite-Led Police Force
In Baghdad, two members of the Shiite-led police force have been accused of raping a Sunni woman during the massive security crackdown in the capital. The woman appeared on Al Jazeera on Monday and said she was raped after being detained over the weekend. Soon after the report aired, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki promised a full investigation. But four hours later he dismissed the rape allegations and commended the police officers. He accused the woman of spreading propaganda to undermine the security forces. Sunni leaders accused the Shiite-led government of covering up the rape. One Sunni group said "This is evidence of the failure of the security plan which was supposed to secure our women before our men."
