Military cops cleared in detainee torture controversy

The Military Police Complaints Commission released its long-awaited Afghan detainees report on Wednesday, concluding that complaints its officers mishandled allegations of post-transfer torture were "unsubstantiated."

In its report, the quasi-judicial commission concludes that Canadian military police officers had no reason to launch an investigation into the treatment of suspected Taliban prisoners who had been transferred into the custody of Afghan authorities.

"While the Commission has dismissed the complaint against eight individual senior Military Police officers, we have made a number of recommendations that we believe will improve the quality of policing services delivered by the Military Police," Commission Chair Glenn Stannard said in a statement accompanying the report's release.

The commission notes the mandate of its nearly four-year probe stopped short of making recommendations on the government and military's detainee transfer policy, but nevertheless identified "serious problems regarding reporting, accountability and information sharing in the Military Police, and made recommendations to improve the work of policing when MPs are deployed on missions."
