During the 2011 uprising in Egypt, the security forces used torture as a weapon against protesters. For a group of 18 detained women protesters, this took the form of strip searches and “virginity tests” which were forced upon them after army officers violently cleared Tahrir Square on 9 March 2011. Seventeen of the women were also beaten, prodded ...
Torture often happens in secret – in police lock-ups, interrogation rooms or prisons. For more than 50 years Amnesty International has been documenting torture, exposing the perpetrators and helping victims get justice. We make people aware of their rights and make sure that governments who torture can’t get away with it. We are campaigning for the...

Governments often use national security as a pretext for torturing people. In Cameroon for example, Amnesty has documented how the security forces have set up secret torture chambers for people accused, often with zero evidence, of being members of the armed group Boko Haram. Fatima (not her real name) told Amnesty International how she was held in...
Guantánamo Bay was established by the United States in January 2002 and has since become emblematic of the gross human rights abuses perpetrated by the US government in the name of fighting terrorism. Hundreds of people were held there for years without charge and subjected to torture (or what the US calls “enhanced interrogation techniques”). Form...
The use of torture destroys people, corrodes the rule of law, undermines the criminal justice system and erodes public trust in public institutions and the state they represent. It causes severe pain and suffering to victims which continues long after the acts of torture stop. And it doesn’t work.
A common myth about torture is that sometimes it is the only way to get information that could save lives.
