It's time to stop torture . .
Torture takes place in secrecy.
Torture is carried out in jails and military compounds wherever the torturers think they can get away with it. Torture persists in villages and homes around the world whenever governments turn their backs on the victims. It's time to speak out. Around the world, people live with the threat of torture on a daily basis. Police forces and armies enjoy arbitrary and unchecked powers behind which torturers can conceal their crimes.
