Joint Forward Intelligence Team
The Joint Forward Intelligence Team or Joint Forward Interrogation Team[1] (JFIT) was an intelligence unit of the British Army which interrogated Iraqi prisoners between 2004 and 2007 at the Shaibah Logistics Base located thirteen miles south-west of Basra.[2][3][4][5]
Former prisoners interviewed by the legal firm Public Interest Lawyers "alleged that British soldiers, including at least one female soldier, were responsible for abuse that included sexual abuse, stress positions, sleep deprivation and beatings".[2]
