Medical complicity in torture
Posted by: Jenny Penny in Health, Human rights, Self-promotion: Jenny elsewhere, The "war on terrorism"I have a new article up on Amnesty Sweden’s website.
Steven Miles, M.D. works at the University of Minnesota and has written the book Oath Betrayed - torture, medical complicity and the war on terror about how medical personnel has been involved in torture and other human rights violations in the so called “war on terrorism”. My article is based on a lecture that Miles did in Stockholm in April. A shorter version of the article is also published in the new issue of Amnesty Press (#2/08).
(In that issue, there is more from me: a report from Amnesty Sweden’s general meeting 2008 and a book review of Catrin Ormestad’s Gaza - en kärlekshistoria - a highly recommended book!)
