It was reported that Iraqi security forces have been operating secret detention facilities in Baghdad. It was further alleged that one secret detention site was located in a Justice Ministry detention facility at Camp Justice, known as Justice 2 (Sijn al-Adaleh 2). 322. It was reported that in November 2010, Iraqi authorities transferred more than 280 detainees to a secret site within Camp Justice, a military base in northwest Baghdad just before an international inspection team was to examine conditions at the detainees' previous location at Camp Honor in the Green Zone. 323.

It is also reported that prison inspectors were not permitted to conduct visits to the section of the facility. It is also alleged that the Counter-Terrorism Service was holding the rest of these detainees. 324. It was alleged that detainees are held incommunicado and in inhumane conditions, often for months at a time. It is alleged that interrogators beat the detainees, hung them upside down for hours at a time, administered electric shocks to various body parts, including the genitals, and asphyxiated them repeatedly with plastic bags put over their heads until they passed out. 325. It has also been reported that another secret prison was being run by the 54th Brigade, with the assistance of the 56th Brigade, in the old Muthanna airport in Western Baghdad.
