TELESUR – A Belfast business owned by the U.K. government has funded training for hundreds of prison guards who have tortured inmates in Bahrain prison, according to a report from Reprieve released on Friday. The report alleges that the state-owned Northern Ireland Co-operation Overseas Ltd, or NI-CO, received funding from the U.K Foreign Office, which trained Bahraini authorities to torture innocent inmates into false confessions and failed to adequately investigate allegations of torture.
