Sure looks like torture to me.

As for fear, if it is equivocated with torture, then every standard police/DA technique designed to say, in essence, "Confess or you will spend more time in prison" is torture, because they are all based on the fear of doing (more) time i.e. plea bargaining = torture.

There is a difference between fear of prison time and fear of imminent death.
