Behandeling van gevangen door CIA “inhumaan”

The Washington Post reports: “Report Calls CIA Detainee Treatment 'Inhuman'”

Medical officers who oversaw interrogations of terrorism suspects in CIA secret prisons committed gross violations of medical ethics and in some cases essentially participated in torture, the International Committee of the Red Cross concluded in a confidential report that labeled the CIA program "inhuman.", according to the newspaper.

Excerpts of the report were leaked previously. The entire document was made public for the first time by author Mark Danner, a journalism professor, on the Web site of the New York Review of Books.
