142. Our commitment to political and social human rights stems also from our commitment to the principles of the United Nations, as well as from our deep faith in the principles of our Sharia, the sublime law of Islam, which provides a firm basis for the various freedoms. To those rights we direct our careful attention because they are the primary preoccupation of the present age. Consequently, we deplore any infringement of them, particularly imprisonment without trial, suppression of free speech, and torture in all its forms. As the Prophet of Islam-peace be upon him! -said: "Allah will torture in the hereafter those who torture others in this world." 143. Our interest in human rights extends to a concern for a sector of the population which, because of mental or physical disability, is unable to provide for itself, either socially or individually. I refer to the disabled.
