    /On June 7, Physicians for Human Rights released a report that concludes
    that the Bush administration may have conducted illegal and unethical
    human experimentation and research on detainees in CIA custody. This
    research, if proven to have occurred, could violate the Geneva
    Conventions, the Common Rule, the Nuremberg Code and other international
    and domestic prohibitions against illegal human subject research and
    experimentation. /

    /Physicians for Human Rights, together with Amnesty International, the
    Bill of Rights Defense Committee, the Center for Constitutional Rights,
    the Center for Victims of Torture, Human Rights Watch,
    International Rehabilatation Council for Torture Victims, the National
    Religious Campaign Against Torture, and Psychologists for Social
    Responsibility, has filed a complaint based on evidence of CIA
    experimentation with the Office of Human Research Protection. The
    complaint demands that OHRP launch a full investigation into possible
    human experimentation by the CIA. More information:
