Redacted summary

A complaint was filed with the Military Police Complaints Commission in early 2007 alleging that Canadian Forces Military Police failed to investigate possible detainee abuse in Afghanistan. Three detainees captured in the Kandahar region in early 2006 showed signs of physical injury (contusions, abrasions, and lacerations) upon transfer to Kandahar Airfield, yet Military Police allegedly failed to conduct medical examinations, failed to investigate the cause of the injuries, failed to properly seize and inventory personal effects, and transferred the detainees to Afghan National Police without completing standard procedures. The complaint, filed under s. 250.18(1) of the National Defence Act, requested a public interest investigation and hearing under s. 250.38(1).
