Tactical Questioning: Scenes from the Baha Mousa Inquiry

Work:: Tactical Questioning: Scenes from the Baha Mousa Inquiry (S0639146807)

On 14 September 2003, at the Haitham Hotel in Basra, Iraq, Baha Mousa and nine others were arrested by the British Army as suspected insurgents. Two days later Baha Mousa was dead. A post-mortem examination revealed that he had suffered from asphyxiation and had received at least 93 injuries to his body whilst in the Army's custody. In 2008 the Secretary of State for Defence announced a public inquiry into Baha Mousa's death and the treatment of those detained with him. Tactical Questioning: Scenes from the Baha Mousa Inquiry brings together scenes from the public inquiry which examined the shocking events that took place over those two days of detention and the British Army's treatment of detainees. The Tricycle's production is staged following the oral hearings completed in October last year and before Sir William Gage publishes his final report and recommendations this summer.
