Torture shatters life to fragments.

Today is the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture – marking the adoption of the Convention against Torture in 1987.

Yet, four decades later, torture has not been eradicated.

Russia's ongoing full-scale invasion of is a glaring example of violations of human and international .

@EU_Commission One way to ban torture would be to completely ban conversion therapy and applied behavior analysis (for neurodiverse people) in the EU

@EU_Commission Plus none of the Anglosphere, particularly the good ole US of A, has disavowed torture. As far as we know it is still used by US of A intel services.

@EU_Commission
It doesn't help that what used to be the most tireless advocate against torture got caught having a torture scandal of our own during the brutal invasion and occupation of Iraq.

Now whenever we argue against torture, our protestations sound weak and meaningless.

All because Darth Jar-Jar thought it made him look like a tough guy.

@EU_Commission What do you think about the forced use of emetics on prisoners and detainees. In some cases they can cause ruptures in the esophagus/trachea, bruises in the respiratory system, and even death.

Famous case from Germany where the doctor ended up walking free after causing the death of an immigrant in police custody by forcibly administering him emetics: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/
