{Human rights lawyers have outlined allegations by hundreds of Iraqis that they were mistreated by British forces.}

More than 400 claims by Iraqis are now being presented in a dossier to the International Criminal Court.

Alleged abuses include sleep and food deprivation, physical assault, electrocution, mock executions and threats of rape.
