The judges were shown recordings of the interrogations of 13 captives in Afghanistan ... They found a number of occasions when the rules had been broken... included

> an interrogator who “held the hand of the captured person during the use of Challenge Direct, a breach of the prohibition on physical contact”;

> an interrogator who “slammed the desk with his hand” and one who “slammed the wall with his hand”.

> Judges also found other violations, including a soldier who used “insulting words throughout an interview” and “vulgar abuse” at a captive.

"One soldier was criticised for walking around a captured and blindfolded Iraqi insurgent and blowing gently on his neck, which Sir Thayne said ‘amounted to a form of ill-treatment’."
