The anti-Saddam dossier commissioned by British Prime Minister Tony Blair reported that approximately 4,000 people were executed at Abu Ghraib prison in 1984, 3,000 at Mahjar prison between 1993 and 1998 and about 2,500 between 1997 and 1999 in a "prison cleansing" campaign. 122 men were executed at Abu Ghraib prison in February/March 2000; a further 23 political prisoners were executed there in October 2001. In October 2000 dozens of women accused of prostitution were beheaded without any judicial process. Methods of torture used in Iraqi jails include using electric drills to maim hands, pulling out fingernails, sexual attacks and "official rape". Prisoners at the Qurtiyya prison in Baghdad are kept in metal boxes the size of tea chests. If they do not confess they are left to die.
