Canada has put the United States and Israel on a torture watch list, according to CTV . A Canadian government document cites the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and interrogation techniques that include “forced nudity, isolation, and sleep deprivation.”
Reuters says that a U.S. Embassy spokeswomen in Ottawa said she was looking into the report. The Israeli embassy had no immediate response.
A Foreign Affairs Department training manual, titled “Torture Awareness Workshop Reference Materials,” provides legal definitions of torture and instructs Canadian consular officials how to detect signs of abuse among detainees held abroad. It lists Guantanamo Bay and the United States, along with Afghanistan, China, Egypt, Iran, Israel, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Syria.
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."
