Professor Philippe Sands (UCL Laws) reveals that top echelons in the Bush administration put pressure on officials at Guantánamo Bay detention camp to devise new torture techniques that flout the Geneva conventions protecting prisoners’ human rights, in his book ‘Torture Team: Cruelty, Deception and the Compromise of Law’.
