The human rights watchdog Cameroon’s military and police of torturing hundreds of Boko Haram sympathizers in secret chambers.

Dozens of testimonies, as well as satellite imagery, photographs and videos add up to a pattern of terrible violence against people accused of supporting Boko Haram.

Amnesty International says it amounts to war crimes.

Photographs showed American military personnel visiting one notorious site, raising the possibility that they were there while torture was being carried out. Men and women described being beaten with electrical cables, chains, batons, planks of wood studded with nails, being permanently chained up, hit on the soles of their feet with machetes and, in the case of one Muslim, being forced to eat pork.
