Can confirm. And these vile ‘experiments’ went on for nearly a decade. And the health of the Indian soldiers, some of whom were hospitalised as a result of severe burns, was never even followed up on. #RawalpindiExperiments https://twitter.com/crimesofbrits/status/1055776074989215745
Also shocking are the ‘Chapatis Experiments’ in Coventry in the late 1960s. I’ve tweeted this b4 but it bears repeating.
20 Punjabi women, like Pritam Kaur, had gone to GPs with various ailments- migraines, arthritis. All were offered a ‘special diet’.
Every morning,a van brought

‘special’ chapatis. The women were periodically told to report to a ‘hospital’ to check progress.
What no-one told them was the food contained radioactive iron salts, & the ‘hospital’ was an atomic research facility.
The daughter of 1 ‘patient’, Danti Sohanta, described her mum

The Medical Research Council had, astonishingly, authorised this.
They were using radioactive salts to check iron retention in Asian women, to study anaemia in that group.
But this deadly experiment was carried out WITHOUT PERMISSION.

Channel 4 made a programme about this 20+ years ago but, to my knowledge, there has never been a public enquiry- a huge injustice.
We can go to the 1970s for racist,unethical gvt experiments on unsuspecting citizens.
The Tuskegee experimenters in the US took blood from impoverished African-American men in Alabama.

They offered them free treatment for a blood disorder. In fact they gave them no treatment at all. They wanted to see what would happen if they did nothing. What happened was that- obviously- wives & partners contracted it. 19 children at least were born with congenital syphilis
This programme ran for FORTY YEARS. It was only stopped by a whistleblower.
-You would hope the ‘good guys’ of WW2 had learned from the horrors of Mengele that human experimentation was a tremendous evil, if that wasn’t already obvious. Sadly not.
