Anti-Torture Committee launches torture prevention database

What proposals does the CPT have to stop police ill-treatment? What is the Committee's position on solitary confinement? What has the CPT said about restraining psychiatric patients? What are the Committee's views on the treatment of immigration detainees? These and many other questions can now be answered via a new database launched today by the CPT. It contains the full texts of all published CPT reports, amounting to some 5000 pages of text. Searching has been made as easy and powerful as possible: users can search for any words, but can also select from pre-established lists of keywords, detention places, categories of detained persons and States.
