Troops face tougher training to deter abuse of civilian detainees

• Abuse 'not only wrong but self-defeating', says Rammell
• MoD to set up special unit to investigate Iraq allegations

8 March 2010 Training of British soldiers is to be improved to avoid abuse of civilian detainees and better reflect the demands of future warfare, the government disclosed today.

In a related development, the Ministry of Defence is setting up a special unit to investigate all allegations of abuse of Iraqis by UK troops. The Iraq historic allegations team is a response to the MoD's failure to deal with a string of complaints from lawyers representing former detainees.
