Description: |
Every day, all over the world, men, women and children are subjected to torture. Usually these crimes are not investigated and no one is prosecuted. Torture is committed with impunity. This book highlights the need for more pressure on governments to investigate such cases. |
Synopsis: |
Impunity sends the message to torturers that they will get away with it. Impunity denies the victims and their relatives the right to have the truth established, the right to see justice done and the right to reparation. This report highlights the shameful fact that most torturers commit their crimes safe in the knowledge that they will never face arrest, prosecution or punishment. However, the tide is turning. Public awareness is greater than ever before. More and more governments are willing to bring torturers to justice, at least those from other countries. As part of Amnesty International's worldwide campaign against torture, this report shows how government can take the next step to overcome impunity. |
