The Arab League said Friday the cases of abuse against Iraqis revealed on the website WikiLeaks were "serious crimes" that should be punished, DPA reported.
Ahmed Bin Helli, the organization's deputy secretary general, told reporters the leaked US military logs on the website revealed crimes "that are equal to crimes against humanity and violations against the Iraqi people."
He called for those responsible to be tracked down.
The WikiLeaks documents, published online last Friday, revealed cases of Iraqi detainees who were abused at the hands of Iraqi security forces, and that the US military turned a blind eye to evidence of torture.
The leaked logs also appear to show the details of 15,000 previously unrecorded civilian deaths in Iraq.
