This report of the Council's special rapporteur on torture contains summaries of three kinds of texts: letters to the rapporteur alleging particular acts of torture, urgent appeals sent to governments regarding these allegations, and the replies of governments to these appeals. It includes communications issued from 21 December 2009 to 1 December 2010, and the replies of governments received through 30 January 2011. The report addresses acts committed in 66 countries.
"On the basis of discussions with public officials, judges, lawyers and representatives of civil society, interviews with victims of violence and with persons deprived of their liberty, often supported by forensic medical evidence, the Special Rapporteur found isolated cases of torture in the classical sense of deliberately inflicting severe pain or suffering as a means of extracting a confession or information. He also found, however, a considerable number of cases where persons were subjected to different degrees of beatings by the police during arrest and as a form of punishment, which may also amount to torture ... The Special Rapporteur found a general atmosphere of violence and neglect in places of detention."--Summary.
"Contains, on a country-by-country basis, summaries of reliable and credible allegations of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment that were brought to the attention of the Special Rapporteur, and were transmitted to the Governments concerned. It also contains replies from Governments. This addendum does not illustrate the state of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment throughout the world, but rather reflects the state of information brought to the attention of the Special Rapporteur."--Introd.
