But this time last year in the Philippines, the “roleta ng kapalaran” (wheel of fortune) acquired notoriety with the gruesome discovery made by the Philippines’ Commission for Human Rights."

Will it be suffocation or beatings, waterboarding or electric shocks - the Wheel of Torture decides.
Last
year’s revelation that police in Laguna, Philippines were using a
'wheel of torture' to decide which torture techniques to use on
prisoners shocked the world. 28 January 2015 marks the one year
anniversary of when the 'Wheel of torture' was first discovered during a
routine visit by the Philippines Commission on Human Rights.
The
‘Wheel of torture’ was loosely based on the popular 1980’s game show
‘Wheel of fortune’. To mark the anniversary, we have produced a video
that is a satirical take on the show, recreating the exciting, family
atmosphere but contestants spin the wheel of torture. One contestant
spins the wheel to try and win a lawyer, but ends up landing on Manny
Pacman (beatings).
