In Virginia, a significant case against U.S. military contractor CACI, brought by three Iraqi torture survivors from Abu Ghraib prison, resulted in a mistrial after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict on Thursday. The lawsuit, initiated by the Center for Constitutional Rights in 2008, accused CACI of war crimes for providing interrogation services at Abu Ghraib. The plaintiffs, Suhail Al Shimari, Asa’ad Zuba’e, and Salah Al-Ejaili, alleged they were subjected to sexual abuse, electric shocks, extreme temperatures, and death threats by interrogators. Despite CACI's repeated attempts to dismiss the case, the survivors were able to present their stories in a U.S. court. Baher Azmy, the attorney for the case and legal director of the Center for Constitutional Rights, highlighted that the jury was ultimately confused by a complex legal question, as noted in a 2014 Democracy Now! interview with Al-Ejaili.
