The civilian was strapped to a stretcher with his feet in the air and head towards the floor, and water was poured over his face, causing him to gasp for air until he agreed to talk. Asano is convicted and sentenced to 15 years of hard labor.
isn't this what we did?
That's sounds pretty much like what we did. However, I don't believe that's the extent of what he did that constitutes torture for which he was convicted. Since I don't know the source of that quote, I'll post this again:
Yokohama Reviews - Asano
It's only a summary and simply includes the term "water torture". Some of the other cases I linked have quite a bit more detail and describe actual torture that goes far beyond the description you linked. Why his particular summary is missing some details, I have no idea...
