Death of Fashad Mohamed

Fashad Mohamed (Arabic: فشاد محمد fashadun muhamad) was an Iraqi who died in custody on April 5, 2004.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] He was alleged to have been captured and beaten by SEAL team 7. He was hooded, sleep deprived, and soaked with extremely hot and cold water.^[4] When he was finally allowed to sleep he did not wake up.^[1]

We know very little about Mohammed's last hours and the military has released even. less information about its investigation into his death and charges brought against those responsible The most recent press reports indicate that as many as three Navy SEALS were charged with abusing Mohammed; charges included assault with intent to cause death and serious bodily harm, assault with a dangerous weapon, maltreatment of detainees, obstruction of justice, and dereliction of duty. Murder or manslaughter charges were not brought, reportedly because of lack of evidence."' Human Rights First asked the Department of Defense on January 26, 2006 for an update on the status and outcome of any prosecutions in Mohammed's case; as of February 10 2006 we had received no response.
