In Mexico, a controversy has erupted over the release of two police training videos showing officers practicing techniques critics say amount to torture. One video shows two officers pulling a man back by sticking their fingers in his mouth. Another man is shown being dragged by his feet through his own vomit. A man with an American accent appears on the video giving instructions to the officers. Another video shows a man having water squirted up his nostrils and shoved into a hole said to be full of rats and feces. The video’s release comes as US lawmakers are mulling a massive aid package that has been partially delayed over human rights concerns.
