CIA captives were photographed naked before being sent to other countries for torture, the Guardian reports.
The photographs, described by one U.S. official as “very gruesome,” raised serious questions about America’s willingness to resort to “sexual humiliation” of CIA captives following 9/11.
The photos, which are classified by the CIA, show captives blindfolded, bound and bruised. Some of the photos include what appears to be CIA officials alongside the naked captives.
Because the photos are classified, it’s unclear how many captives were pictured nude.
The purpose of the photographs was to show the physical conditions of the captives.
