It’s pretty strong stuff. Shock tactics like these are often criticised as being too shocking - but surely that’s the point? Torture is horrific. The best way to get that across is by demonstrating clearly just how horrific it is. If people are put off, it won’t be from Amnesty - who exist to oppose torture - but from torture itself.

We are a bunch of writers who publish thoughts and articles on this blog.
We largely write on politics, but we do try to keep up in other areas too. There are sections on music, film, books, the media, life, the universe and almost anything on the site. Admittedly, some of them may be quite small at the moment, but we're working on it...
Please visit the About page to get a bigger picture and for details on how to join our number.
Please feel more than welcome to comment on the site: we always welcome debate and discussion.
