نحن نشعر ببالغ القلق من تلك الانتهاكات التى تؤدى الى التعذيب كا اسلوب غير جيد لاانتزاع معلومات التعذيب ترفضه كل الاديان السماوية ونحن يجب ان نعمل معا من اجل مناهضة هذه الاساليب التى نعتبرها همجية وغير اخلاقية نقترح ان تكون لنا اتصالات بشبكة واسعة لتنسيق الجهود والعمل على استحداث مجموعات ومنظمات ضغط كى نكون قادرين على العمل اكثر بفاعلية

]]> Comment on “What you really need is justice” by Jerbert M. Briola http://worldwithouttorture.org/2012/02/20/what-you-really-need-is-justice/#comment-963 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 15:27:08 +0000 http://worldwithouttorture.org/?p=596#comment-963 In the Philippines, there is no national standard on the investigation, documentation and reporting cases of torture. The Istanbul Protocol is not a commonly used tool amongst lawyers and medical doctors. Each investigative entity makes use of its own methods and formats. Only the Commission on Human Rights of the Philippines (CHRP) and the Medical Action Group (MAG) are utilizing the Istanbul Protocol in their respective medical documentation of alleged cases of torture. It is worth to mention that medical reports based on the Istanbul Protocol made by Dr. Ben Molino of MAG proved to be an important piece of evidence in the decision of the Supreme Court of the Philippines on brothers Raymond and Reynaldo Manalo [G.R. No. 180906, The Secretary of National Defense v. Manalo, October 7, 2008] regarding their application for the “writ of amparo”.

Promulgated on 24 October 2007, the “writ of amparo” is a remedy available to any person whose right to life, liberty, and security has been violated or is threatened with violation by an unlawful act or omission by public officials or employees and by private individuals or entities.

A country investigating charges of torture by its military or citizens committed against its enemy sets the stage for bias. No surprise the charges don’t stick! Anybody surprised?

I agree that it is a very overused term. I really appreciate you quoting the very clear definition. I have had therapists apply the word to some of my experiences but never really thought it fit. According to your definition though, it does. A sobering reality. Thank you for helping pull back a layer of my denial so I can heal, and thank you for helping to get people to understand the reality of torture better and to take it more seriously.
