TL;DR Summary

Talib al-Majli, a former detainee of Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, says he was physically and psychologically tortured by U.S. soldiers during his 16-month detention. He was never charged with anything and was released in 2005. The imprisonment has left him destitute and too physically weak and psychologically traumatized to hold down a job. He and other Iraqis abused in Abu Ghraib need financial compensation so they can build back their lives, but none of the men who appeared in the photos that shocked the world has ever been compensated by the U.S. military for the mistreatment they suffered in Abu Ghraib.
