Rights activists want law on torture to stay in effect
A group of human rights activists and lawyers are urging the government and the Attorney General to invest more in training law enforcers about the dangers of torture, rather than trying to bypass the law. They argue that investigators should stop using torture to extract confessions and focus on following legal procedures. Under current law, courts cannot proceed with prosecution if a suspect has been tortured, which has led the Attorney General to propose an amendment allowing trials to continue regardless of torture.
