(Vocus) April 21, 2009 -- In the wake of the Senate Armed Services Committee's (SASC) report on detainee abuse, Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) is calling for the psychologists who justified, designed, and implemented torture for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Department of Defense (DoD), to lose their professional licenses and to face criminal prosecution.

"Long before Justice Department lawyers were tasked to justify torture, US psychologists were busy actually perpetrating it," said Stephen Reisner, PhD, Advisor on Psychological Ethics at PHR. "These individuals must not only face prosecution for breaking the law, they must lose their licenses for shaming their profession's ethics."

Senator Carl Levin (D-MI), Chair of SASC, is calling for the Department of Justice to review the report and pursue any evidence of criminal wrongdoing, a move that PHR supports.

"The Senate Armed Services Committee confirms what we have long known--health professionals were the agents that spread the virus of torture," said Nathaniel Raymond, Director of PHR's '/>"/>
