The US Army sergeant, who was trying to eight years in prison.

The American senior sergeant Aven Frederick was sentenced on Thursday to eight years in prison for mockery of prisoners of war in the Baghdad prison Abu Graib prison, reports Reuters.

Military judge, Colonel James Paul, also decided to unclench Frederick to the ordinary, put a fine on him and dismiss the army with deprivation of rights and privileges.

Initially, Judge Poul sentenced 38-year-old Frederick to 10 years in prison, but then reduced the term of up to 8 years in view of the “agreed admission of guilt” (an agreement between the court and the defendants that the latter pleads guilty of committing a less serious crime and receives a minimum punishment, and the court will not consider the prosecution of a more serious crime).

Earlier, the veteran of the US Armed Forces found himself guilty of some of the five prosecution points put forward against him by the American military court in Baghdad in connection with the mockery of the Abu Graib prison in Iraq.

Iven Frederick, who appeared before the judges during a two-day preliminary hearings, did not deny the facts of physical violence against prisoners and their insults, ITAR-TASS reports.

The inhuman, immoral actions of Frederick and a number of his colleagues were confirmed by one of the former prisoners of Abu Graib at the hearing. The sergeants Iven Frederick and Javal Davis are accused of "incorrect handling of detainees, violation of military duty, insulting and threats to physical violence." They were among the seven reservists of the American military police, who are judged by the Abu-Graib case.
