International Law
Definition of Torture:
"... any act by which severe pain or suffering,
whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted
on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him
or a third person information or a confession,
punishing him for an act he or a third person has
committed or is suspected of having committed, or
intimidating or coercing him ..."
Note that this also includes element of subjective
intent on the part of the torturer.
Also, two members of the local JTTF arrived at my home under the pretense of
investigating the robbery of my car, which I had reported to the DC Metro Police.
Most of their questions were about my work as a human rights lawyer and why I
wanted to represent Mr. Mohammed. This can be VERY intimidating.
