Iraqis win damages for 'ill-treatment' by British soldiers - BBC News: One of the men was awarded more than 30,000 by the court in London.
Abd Al-Waheed, who was arrested when British soldiers raided a house in the city of Basra, in February 2007, was given 15,000 in "respect of the beating" he suffered.
He was awarded another 15,000 for what the judge described as "the further inhuman and degrading treatment which he suffered, encompassing harsh interrogation, being deprived of sleep and being deprived of sight and hearing".
And he was also compensated 3,300 for 33 days of unlawful detention.
