A video, obtained by the News of the World and shown on BBC TV on 11 February 2006, shows a group of British soldiers brutally beating and kicking defenceless Iraqi teenagers in an army compound.

The footage shows eight soldiers pulling four teenagers off the street and dragging them into their army base, before beating them with batons, as well as punching and kicking them.

In one of the most brutal scenes, a soldier punches one of the prisoners in the head and the stomach. He is then headbutted and kicked further.

Another scene shows a soldier walking up to one of the boys and kicking him hard between the legs from behind. The boy is seen doubling up in pain.

In some of the worst footage, a prisoner is kicked in the back and the body six times by two soldiers. As he struggles on the floor, one of the soldiers grabs him again by the shoulder, kicks him twice and then begins to hit him on the legs with a baton.

The video also shows footage of a soldier drawing back the blanket over an Iraqi corpse to display it close up to the camera as if it is a trophy.

The informant is quoted as saying: ´These Iraqis were just kids. Most haven´t even got shoes on.´

I am sure you will be condemning all the violence to all childeren from anybody else without being hypocratical..

All childeren includes Kurdish citizens and anybody else includes our own police and the army..

Yes?

There was a video the other day, showing how a Kurdish boy´s arm got broken by the police..

Have you condemned it?

I have condemned it, so?

It is good to know that you are aware of what is going on in your OWN country and you are a sensitive person

Because there are many around who does not know ´anything´ about where they live or prefer to turn blind eyes into these sort of things..

It is good to know that you are not one of them..

right, as you said, it`s my own country, but Iraq is not the property of these bloody invaders, and these are the ones who claim to bring "peace" to Iraq.

Absolutely agree with you..

Everybody should have every single right to condemn any type violence anywhere in the world..

A Turk has right to criticize Iraq so as a British so as a Polish etc..

Same rules should be applied when Turkey is criticized of course.

I am sure you will not get cross when someone criticize Turkey in the future..

Good to know that..Thanks..

sure, no one from outside of Turkey condemns akp for the massacre they carried out in sivas though, for example. that would be welcome but no one does that. is it because, alevis are less huiman than kurds or because alevis don`t claim independence.

This is old news which has been posted on TC a couple of years ago.  You must have been searching hard for revenge following the comments about Islam..... even though you protest you are not muslim....   Is this the best you could come up with?!

How YOU make me laugh

is this how you respond to the crimes of your beloved countrymen? you remind me of that english psychopath laughing in the video.

 Yes we all watched this with horror as it was played on our news (and thanks for hte blow by blow account) but it is old news, which Britian condemmed 3 years ago, those soldiers are now in prison.  And of course nothing like this would happen with Turkish army would it??

I don`t remember the Turkish army`s invading a country, genociding it`s 1 million of people and torturing the children. do you?

Now I am expecting Tami to come back with the news articles and videos of the torture and killing incidents from Turkey  (there are plenty of them btw) and then what happened to those soldiers or police..

Are they in jail?

they have taken to the court?

were the television channels ALLOWED to display those video clips or those incidents made the headlines in tvs in Turkey?

 Ooh come on, stop exagerating - 1 million people???!!!  I am thinking more in your own country...............

ahahaaa yea I got that number from the same source you got the number of 1.5 million.

suppose it`s less than 1 million. what does that change?

 I don´t have a source that say 1.5 mil and perhaps you should just refresh yourself as to what genocide actually means.

BTW I was not in favour of our soldiers going into Iraq to fight a fruitless "war" but I dispute you in saying our soldiers killed 1 million people as an act of genocide.

hmm don`t you call this denial of genocide?

I knew you would not!!

 You win, of course it is genocide and we are brutal murderers.....

yes you are. thanks for being honest.

It is horrible news albeit a tad out-of-date. Wars are hideous. Too bad we´ll never be able to understand it.

Tami, Tami, Tami, memory problems at your age? Try Lecitine or something like that

You posted exactly the same thing on my birthday!

http://www.turkishclass.com/forumTitle_36140

yeah, since roswitha and all the others can post the same thing at least ten times, I think I have the same right too.

nobody has the right, that´s why they´re constantly reminded about that. Yet it doesn´ prevent them (or you) from doing that that´s the tc spirit

ha ha
