Iran has released new photographs in which at least one of the recently captured U.S. sailors is crying, according to a series of the pictures posted on social media.
The pictures, as well as an accompanying video, were released by Iranian state-controlled news outlets and disseminated on Twitter by Iranian reporters early Wednesday.
The new photographs come on the heels of another set of pictures that showed Iranian military forces detaining the U.S. sailors at gun point and forcing them to place their hands upon their heads while kneeling on a ship.
Nothing wrong with the pics of capturing the interloping sailors, although the Geneva Conventions bans humiliating captives. It was in bad taste to show the captive sailor being wimps although we don't know the context. The weeping sailor could be weeping in relief at not being charged for espionage and being treated considerately.
Nowhere near as bad of course as the war crime of showing a captured head of State publicly humiliated by being inspected for nits in front of the international media.
