Justice for the alleged torture victim...not likely

So one of the guys who were allegedly tortured by the members of the joint services made his report to the police, for them to conduct an investigation...

Among the allegations made are:
*ranks held him by his pants and dragged him down the road
*slapped him several times
*forced him to lie on his belly and forced to crawl.
*put wood on his shoulder and stood on him for several minutes before shoving the barrel of a gun in his ears
*he was placed to lie down in an ant nest for several minutes.

Remember the last set of torture allegations, according to the authorities they amount to 'roughing up', so there is very little to indicate that this will be different. The people that are accused of the crime are the very ones that are conducting the investigation and if it's not them, then it's their friends. Absolute nonsense in this land of glorified nonsense. Isn't there an independent body established to hear and investigate claims of this nature? It should not be left to members of the same fraternity to investigate their colleagues.

For those of you who missed it though, the link show is being held over on Sunday and Monday nights. This production has a wonderful chapter called 'Torture". It give a realistic opinion of what the authorities idea of 'torture' is.
