DJ Iraqi Lawmaker Alleges Existence Of Secret Detention Centers

GENEVA (AFP)--An Iraqi parliamentarian Thursday called on the U.N. to investigate what he alleged were over 400 secret detention centers in the country controlled by both the government and foreign forces.

Mohammad Al-Dainy told a news conference in Geneva there were at least 420 such places, some of them underground.
"These centers of detention are completely illegal. Nobody can visit them. Conditions there are much worse than in official prisons," he said.

Al-Dainy said he met officials from the U.N., the International Committee of the Red Cross and non-governmental organizations during his visit.

The ICRC said it hasn't reached an agreement with the Iraqi government on visiting prisons under their control.
"We only have access to three sites under the control of the Iraqi authorities," spokeswoman Dorothea Krimitsas said.
