Khushbakht Isoev, PO “The World of Law”: Torture is the Trampling Underfoot Human Dignity

“As a specialist for documenting cases of torture and cruel treatment, I often deal with stories of pain and suffering, behind which are not just violations of law, but sores at heart that cannot and should not be ignored.

Prohibition on torture is not just a rule of national or international law. It is the moral imperative, bounds that no one has a right to step over under any circumstances. Torture is the trampling underfoot human dignity. Torture causes not only bodily harm, but also destroys soul, makes emotionally frigid, and deadens person’s perception. There is not any evidence that could excuse torture.
