@chrdnet.bsky.social recommends the Committee against #Torture expedite 🇨🇳's long-overdue review and press the government publicly on the scale of torture against #PrisonersOfConscience.
🔴 CHRD's new study on torture of #PrisonersOfConscience in 🇨🇳 reveals that authorities persist in using #torture, typically to extract confessions, and fail to investigate allegations of ill-treatment.
Almost 40 years ago the Chinese govt ratified intl law prohibiting #torture, but new @chrdnet.bsky.social research shows official tolerance of horrific abuses. #Prisonersofconscience and #humanrights defenders are paying with their health—sometimes their lives.
