Stop Torture | Amnesty International
You've hung from the ceiling for hours. Your muscles scream. Electric
shocks convulse your body. Water forced into your mouth. You think
you're drowning. Rape. Mock executions. Whatever it takes to break you.
To make you submit. To sign a confession, or hand over information.
You're hidden away from the world's gaze. You think you are forgotten,
you think you are alone.
All over the world, states are torturing people just like you.
How safe would you feel if you were taken into custody?
Shockingly our global survey showed nearly half of respondents, from 21
countries, fear they would be at risk of torture if taken into custody
in their country. http://bit.ly/stop-torture
