Amnesty International Releases Graphic Waterboarding Advert

[Hei Hu Quan]

Amnesty International, who normally just catalogue crimes and do nothing, have just put together an advert for film houses. It depicts a 100% accurate waterboard session to drive home the point that it is indeed torture. Most people cognitively disassociate from this and can't even imagine the horror inflicted by its blatantly illegal and egregious use, so this shocking video puts it into glaring reality for some. Sorry, I wanted to embed the video here but there were some problems in achieving it successfully.
