WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 -- Human Rights Watch issued the following report:
The camera shows a slightly built 13-year-old boy pacing in a tiny cell, pausing every so often to lean against the wall, his head buried in his arms, his body trembling. Three guards rush in and quickly overpower the boy, stripping him naked. It was one of at least five instances when detention center guards in Australia's Northern Territory used excessive force against him between October 2010 and August 2014, . . .
