Reporting

The Wild River's series about Abu Ghraib prisoner torture and abuse began publication in August 2007.“The Other Side of Abu Ghraib—the Detainees’ Quest for Justice” examined the event through the lenses of lawyers Susan Burke and Shereef Akeel, torture victim testimony, the healing experiences of a yoga teacher, and was highlighted with artwork by Daniel Heyman.

In January 2007 the Wild River Review continued its conversation with Turkish author Orhan Pamuk, in an article reporting on Article 301 of the Turkish penal code for insulting Turkishness.
