			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At times I run across videos that show horrors of what humans are capable of doing. Many times it&#8217;s not clear what&#8217;s really happening in those videos and if they&#8217;re real or fake but the video below speaks for itself.</p>
<p>Pakistani soldiers enter a building and interrogate the male residents, asking for information on the Taliban. They don&#8217;t get the answers they&#8217;re looking for so the head of that group orders his subordinates to beat the men. The men beg for mercy while they get kicked, whipped and hit everywhere but the soldiers don&#8217;t care and keep on torturing them. One of the brave soldiers even shows his female side by pulling his victim&#8217;s hair. The most gruesome part comes at the end, when an old man is beaten up while he&#8217;s begging for mercy, for them to let go and screaming &#8220;Ya Allah, Ya Allah&#8221;.<br />
In war times torturers and those that commit crimes often try to play down their guilt by claiming they were ordered to do what they did but if you have a closer look at the soldiers in this video you will see that some of them really enjoy what they&#8217;re doing.</p>

<p>Two of the four beaten men are elderly men that could be your or my grandfather but since torturers have no honour these soldiers don&#8217;t care about such things. I&#8217;ve been harrassed, blackmailed and chased through Peshawar by the Pakistani police myself so I can tell you one thing: stuff like this is very common over there. In Pakistan, when people speak about the police, they don&#8217;t call them &#8220;police&#8221; but &#8220;dogs&#8221;.</p>
