| Description: |
It is hard to believe that anyone would deliberately torture a child. This book draws on reports of torture of children documented by Amnesty International and other human rights organizations and is released as part of the campaign that aims to mobilize people around the world to take action to stop the torture and ill-treatment of children. |
| Synopsis: |
It is hard to believe that anyone would deliberately torture a child. Yet around the world, girls and boys are being subjected to horrific violence and abuse. Children are tortured because they are cought up in wars and political conflict. Children are in custody are vulnerable to ill-treatment by police and security forces, and are often detained in conditions that pose a threat to their health and safety. The effects of torture on the future of the child may be felt for generations to come. The victims are from all regions of the world. Some are the accidental victims of the carnage of war; some have been deliberatly targeted by armed forces; some have themselves been forced to take up arms, and to carry out acts of torture. Dozens of harrowing cases have been presented in this report, yet they are no more than the tip of a very large iceberg. The torture of children is a widespread, worldwide scandal, and concerted public action must be brought to bear on governments to force them to live up to their legal and moral obligation to protect children. |
