USA - Outsourcing Torture
Description
Are prisoners at Guantanamo Bay being severely tortured? As more and more former inmates speak out, evidence of this is stacking up. Whilst America may have signed the Convention against Torture, many of its allies in the War on Terror haven't. And by sending detainees to these countries for interrogation, the US is able to gain intelligence obtained through torture whilst at the same time keeping its hands clean. This documentary is the shocking story of Mamdouh Habib, arrested in a general round up and sent to Egypt for six months to be tortured.
