Military ‘told to strip and humiliate prisoners’

BRITISH military interrogators are being trained in techniques, including sensory deprivation and enforced nakedness, to provoke humiliation and fear in prisoners they are questioning, it was claimed.

Secret training materials tell interrogators they should aim to make prisoners feel insecure, disorientated, exhausted and anxious, the Guardian reported.

The newspaper said it had obtained training materials, including a PowerPoint aid created in September 2005, which tells trainee interrogators that prisoners should be stripped before being questioned, saying: “Get them naked. Keep them naked if they do not follow commands.”
