The Baha Mousa Inquiry

The Baha Mousa Inquiry was a UK investigation into the death and mistreatment of Baha Mousa, a detainee who died after being held by British military personnel in Iraq in 2003. The inquiry examined the circumstances of his treatment, including allegations of abuse and torture, and aimed to identify failures in military procedures and accountability. It highlighted the need for proper conduct and oversight of armed forces during detention to prevent such incidents and ensure adherence to human rights and legal standards.
