Amnesty International – Anti-waterboarding

An American expert in torture techniques has denounced his government for allowing “waterboarding” to be practised against terror suspects, just as a graphic advertisement showing the brutal reality of the technique is unveiled to British cinema-goers.

Malcolm Nance, who trained hundreds of US servicemen and women to resist interrogation by putting them through “waterboarding” exercises, demanded an immediate end to the practice by all US personnel.

Kate Allen, the UK director of Amnesty International, said: “Our film shows you what the CIA doesn’t want you to see — the disgusting reality of half-drowning a person.

“For a few seconds, our film-makers did it for real. Even for those few seconds, it’s horrifying to watch. The reality — in a secret prison with no one to stop it — is much, much worse.”
