- The move followed the Military Advocate General’s decision last month to drop the criminal charges in the case.
- A command-level review of the soldiers’ conduct remains open with no findings released.
- An earlier indictment described kicking, clubbing, use of a taser, and a stab wound to the rectal area, with surveillance footage reported in 2024, according to Middle East Eye.
