Military police at Australia's detention centre in Afghanistan were pressured to make prisoners more "pliable" by gagging them, depriving them of sleep and denying them exercise.

Sources with first-hand knowledge of the detention centre at Tarin Kowt have said that senior officers from Australia's special forces, as well as the "force exploitation team" - defence intelligence - and the mentoring taskforce, pressed the detention management team to "condition" suspected insurgents before interrogation.

A source said the pressure was "strongly resisted" by the detention management team and the gagging and other techniques were not carried out.

The account by multiple sources is among a number of claims that contrast with assurances this week from Defence Minister Stephen Smith that Australia "approaches its responsibility for treating detainees with dignity and respect with the utmost seriousness".
