MidwestHumanRights — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 08:51:47 -0700

On January 9, 2008, the Chicago City Council approved a nearly $20 million legal settlement to four African American men who were tortured into confessions by former police Cmdr. John Burge and his subordinates. The four allegedly were subjected to electric shocks, beatings and other brutality by Burge and his men.
