Human Rights organisation Amnesty International has given rise to a controversy by launching a satirical video, which suggested that US President Barack Obama backs torture.
The organisation has created a YouTube channel, Amnesty TV, with comedy sketches, stunts, news and opinion.
The latest video magazine shows a clip of an interview in which Obama is asked why he did not close the US military detention centre at Guantanamo Bay.
His words are ‘cut up’ to make him endorse torture.
A pledge to shut the camp was a ‘token gesture’, he says. The clip ends with a ‘stop torture’ message, the Independent reports.
Some YouTube viewers said they found the video inappropriate. One viewer said that any groups that aimed ‘to be respectable arbiters of information should try to be accurate’.
The clip is made by Cassetteboy, an internet film-maker notorious for re-editing scenes from The Apprentice and Dragon's Den for satirical effect, the report said.
