Water torture of Vietnamese DPR/TV/798
Description
Here is the library copy of the film shot in 1966 during the interrogation by Australian officers of a Vietnamese girl. American author Martin Russ in his book about Vietnam 'Happy hunting ground' has alleged that the girl was subjected to water torture during the interrogation. UPITN cameraman Istiaq Ahmad who was present during the interrogation and shot this film has said that Russ's story is false: "It is not a true report...it is a cock and bull story" said Ahmad.
