Blog:Convicted war criminal
A six-month court martial saw seven soldiers facing war crimes charges relating to Mr Mousa’s death.
In April 2007, all but Cpl Payne, 36, were cleared on all counts at Bulford Camp in Wiltshire.
He became the UK’s first convicted war criminal under the International Criminal Court Act.
In July 2008 the MoD agreed to pay £2.83m in compensation to the families of Mr Mousa and the nine other detainees.
David Barr, counsel for the Ministry of Defence, said the “appalling” behaviour of British soldiers in the case “disgusted” the Army.
He told the inquiry: “It is with huge regret that the Ministry of Defence acknowledges the way in which some of those techniques were used on Baha Mousa and those detained with him.
“The brutality was completely unacceptable. It has stained the reputation of the British army.”
