Report

The soldiers have been accused of terrible attrocities. They have tortured and degraded the prisoners who now hold them in nothing but contempt.

Whether or not this is fact or opinion depends on your political and ethical viewpoint - 'the soldiers have been accused' is a fact; the torture is a fact; the reaction of the prisoners is a fact for many prisoners; whether or not you consider torture to be degrading is a matter of opinion - therefore probably not the best example to illustrate the clear difference between fact and opinion.
