Kurdish police torture Iraqi soldiers traveling to Mosul battle: report

The Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) accused the Kurdish police (Asayish) in the Kurdistan region of torturing Iraqi Army soldiers that were traveling to the Nineveh Governorate in order to participate in the southern Mosul offensive.

The PMU stated that 8 soldiers and officers had their weapons stolen by the Kurdish police at a checkpoint; they would later be tortured by electric batons.

According to the PMU, the Peshmerga (Kurdish army), Asayish, and Iraqi Army are working to find these rogue officers that were responsible for this crime.
