abu ghraib former detainees appeals court arguments.

An appeals court is set to hear oral arguments from a U.S. military contractor ordered to pay $42 million for contributing to the torture and mistreatment of three former detainees of Iraq’s notorious Abu Ghraib prison two decades ago. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday is hearing the case appealed by Reston, Virginia-based CACI. The three ex-detainees testified they were subjected to beatings, sexual abuse, forced nudity and other cruel treatment. CACI supplied the interrogators who worked at the prison. It has denied any wrongdoing and has emphasized its employees are not alleged to have inflicted any abuse on the plaintiffs in the case.
