Torture as POW Revealed by Navy Lt Naughton
Navy Lt Cmdr Robert Naughton of Cedar Rapids described torture by North Vietnamese during captivity from 1969 to 1972. He said he was tied to a stool and deprived of sleep for two weeks, with other abuses including thumbs tied behind his back and limbs pulled, while prison conditions varied across camps such as Son Tay Zoo Camp Faith and Dogpatch. He credited faith and U.S. pressure for improved treatment after Ho Chi Minh’s death, and noted capture after a downed May 18 1969 flight and six years as a prisoner in five camps.
