Human rights groups filed a complaint seeking an investigation into allegations that CIA-led medical personnel conducted research experiments on terror detainees after the September 11 attacks.
Physicians for Human Rights, which released the report this week outlining allegations of illegal human subject research and experimentation on detainees, said it filed the complaint Wednesday with seven other organizations with the US Department of Health and Human Services Office for Human Research Protections.
The office "should initiate immediately an official investigation" into the evidence, which the group said was detailed in declassified government documents.
The division, which sets guidelines for government research on humans including by the CIA, "has a legal responsibility to investigate these disturbing new allegations about the CIA and possible illegal human experimentation on detainees," said Nathaniel Raymond, lead author of the report.
The CIA has rejected the report as erroneous.
