Torture and Abuse

Aggressors may apply systematic physical and psychological violence against detained members of the local population, prisoners of war, and political activists. The use of brutal interrogations, beatings, and the creation of torturous conditions of detention serves not only the purposes of inquiry but also the total psychological breaking of the society's will, paralyzing its capacity for organized resistance.
