“This International Day in Support of Victims of Torture the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) supports victims of torture and condemns the practice of torture. Torture is a heinous crime and is especially repugnant when utilized by law enforcement personnel to extract confessions of guilt from those accused of a crime. Allegations of violence or coercion leveled at police erode the public’s trust in police and the wider justice system as a whole. Any evidence obtained by such means must be deemed inadmissible by the courts. Perpetrators of torture must be brought to justice after an investigation by an independent preventative mechanism.”
