Musicians Protest Use of Music to Torment Detainees

By Paul Townsend

ADVERTISEMENTS
Musicians are joining together to demand that the U.S. stop using their songs to torment detainees in the war on terror. Reprieve, a human rights group, has organized a campaign in which musicians will feature moments of silence during concerts.

There are many reports of music being played at loud volumns and for extended periods of time in order to "break" detainees. The U.S. military authorized this tactic in part "to create fear, disorient ... and prolong capture shock."
