On November 17, 2008 the Andhra Pradesh government made a decision to hold accountable the police officers who tortured 21 detainees after a May 2007 explosions and bombing in Hyderbad.

The story goes as so… After the bombings approximately 100 people were taken into custody for questioning, of those 21 were later released after being tortured.

After complaints of police brutality and torture, the government acknowledged the torture and promised victim compensation in the amount of $600 US, however, the government has yet to file any criminal charges against the police officers and officials who were responsible for torturing suspects and detainees.

“Acknowledging torture and providing compensation is a good first step,” said Meenakshi Ganguly, senior South Asia researcher at Human Rights Watch. “But the government has to prosecute those responsible so that those who use torture will not get away with it.”

I gotta give them some credit for even acknowledging the torture of suspects that were later released. Many countries, including the U.S., tend to deny and bury wrongdoing by law enforcement and government.

From the Human Rights Watch…

On May 18, 2007, at least nine people were killed when a bomb exploded outside Hyderabad’s Mecca Masjid, where thousands had gathered for Friday prayers. On August 25, 2007, nearly 50 people died and scores were injured in two separate blasts in Hyderabad. There were arrests after each bombing.

The Hyderabad police initially suspected Islamist extremists of carrying out the attacks. Of those detained for questioning, most were released after a few days or weeks in custody.

Many of those picked up on suspicion of being linked to the blasts were illegally detained (who would have thunk it ?!?). The Criminal Procedure Code and the Indian Constitution require that detainees be produced in court within 24 hours. Some of those detained said they were brought before the magistrate only after five to 10 days

Yes, I suppose as a society we are. Do we want to see the person we believe hurt us tortured? Absolutely! Modern day executions are a good lesson in our need for vengeance.

I am not pro or con execution as a punishment, I am fairly mixed. You see, I do believe that there is no room for monsters on this planet, however, there is always that chance that justice is misguided, witnesses tainted, and the wrong person gets convicted. It seems to happen fairly often.

For anyone who feels justice is never wrong, well, they are blind because too many people have been proven innocent many years after the execution when the ORIGINAL monster struck again and mocked the world with his cunning.

The question I always have is why choose such barbaric methods to kill a man? We live in a world where dying may be easier than living and something as easily gotten as a handful of aspirins can kill you. Why does the justice system still insist on torture to kill?

Electric chair, lethal injection and the gas chamber seem to be the ways to kill… all torturous and barbaric. Whats worse is that the countries “humane” ways to die end up completely botched by incompetent executioners and flames, blood, chemicals and flying eyeballs seem to become the norm.

WTF? if you wanna kill someone peacefully and humanely there are some great methods. Sleeping pills, aspirin, opiate pain killers like morphine and anesthesia. No need to find stable veins, sponges, electrodes, gas, etc. Animals are put to sleep daily, why can they not make executions the same?

Since the U.S. Government stands by the decision that torture is wrong and more importantly leads to bad information, they have broadened the scope of interrogation. Go figure. Sick Video about Waterboarding, torture and interrogation techniques.

Not flowers in the attic, more like weeds in the basement… family found locked in basement after 24 years of imprisonment in windowless concrete room by her father, whom is also the father of her own children… thats some sick shit. How twisted does one need to be to commit that horrific crime against his own family.

this is the house the woman and children were locked up in for 24 years. It even looks like a prison, talk about no curb appeal.

VIENNA (Reuters) - Austrian police have arrested a man they believe imprisoned his daughter in a windowless basement for 24 years, abused her and fathered seven children with her.

Police said the woman, identified as 42-year-old Elisabeth F, told them her father Josef had lured her into the basement of the block where they lived in the town of Amstetten in 1984, and drugged and handcuffed her before imprisoning her.

Three of her children were locked up since birth in the basement of the drab, grey building along with their mother and had never seen sunlight or received any education, police said.

Some parts of the dungeon were no more than 1.70 meters (5 ft 6 in) high and officials in Amstetten said the basement labyrinth even contained a padded cell.

Fritzl had hidden the entrance to the cell behind shelves and only he knew the secret code for the reinforced concrete door, said officials.

CIA, Bush/Cheney and the Inquisition seem to have much in common, they all seemed to think that information gathered under duress is totally true because NO BODY would ever lie and tell them what they want to hear just so the medieval madness can be over. Maybe the book Flesh Inferno, Atrocities of Torquemada and the Spanish Inquisition.

Maybe the family of Tomás de Torquemada should ask for some licensing fees for using his technique.

The water cure

TORQUEMADA AND THE SPANISH INQUISITION - Anthony Bruno

The accused woman lay naked on an escalera, a ladder tipped so that her head was lower than her feet. The torturer had stretched her out to her full length and bound her tightly. Iron prongs held her jaws open. Her nostrils were stopped, allowing breathing only through her mouth. She struggled, but her bounds permitted little movement, and days of relentless questioning had left her exhausted. The torturer draped a piece of linen loosely over her open mouth. Jugs of water lined a nearby wall.

Three other men stood over the woman in the torture chamber.

This one is…………..Horrific! Please only watch if you’re over 18, and think you can stomach the outcome!

Good old school fun! These Police Officers Torture a Man in Egypt! If you think this doesn’t happen in America, think again!

So what is going on here? These are pictures from the old Taliban regime and the public spectacle they used to have to torture and execute the victims of extreme religious beliefs. The story behind the pictures of the amputated hands are below.

On 24th April 1998

a women accused of adultery and a youth accused of robbery were punished in Kabul Sport Stadium. Taliban radio invited Kabul’s resident for the ’show’ but less than expected showed up. The number of spectators were not more than 5000, bulk of which were made up of Pakistani and Afghani Taliban. In order to make their “show more ceremonious” they had dragged along about 200 of their women folk. More than 20% of the spectators comprised of children and youth of under 14.

The heads of Taliban started with speeches, at around 2:30 PM, about the benefits of enforcing shariat (Islamic law) which nobody listened to. At around 3 PM the charges on Meena daughter of Meer Aqaa resident of Jabul Saraaj was read who was later flogged a 100 times. The accused was wrapped in an old chadarry and was escorted by two tall chadarry wearing guards to the center of the ground.

One of the Taliban executioner stood at the left side of the accused and throw 50 lashes on her back and then moved to her right side and throw another 50 lashes on her back. The women’s head, who appeared to have lost consciousness slid to the shoulder of the one of the guards. Finally she was thrown into a car and taken away.

The second accused was Zabi Ullah son of Noor Muhammad resident of Shakar Dara. On the crime of theft of medicine worth 35 million Afghani his hand had to be cut off. He was laid down on stadium ground. Four doctors who had covered their faces for not to be known started butchering him. A short while later his right hand was cut from the wrest and fell to the ground. A Talib who appeared to be intoxicated by the sight and smell of blood picked the cut hand by the small finger and while blood was dripping from it, he hold it to the spectators. He was holding the cut hand by his right hand and was cheerfully waving his left hand while shouting in Urdu “ye haat dheko” (look at this hand). The spectacle of Pakistani Talib lasted about 5 minutes. The youth whose hand has been severed was thrown into an ambulance and taken away. You could see the hatred, pain and rage in the eyes of the people.

Well, at least they did take the people to the hospital, or at least they said they did.

This story is part of the new news from Rawa. This is sick on so many levels. Afghani teen was tortured for months by husband. I do not know what is worse, that this happened, was allowed to happen, or that there are no consequences to the 40 year old Muslim sick fuc who bought himself a 16 year old bride and tortured her for the next 3 months finally cutting off her nose, boiling her in hot water, cutting off her ears and shaving her head… All because she wanted to do what any teen would want to do, go outside

This little girl… yes 16 years old is a little girl to most people in the civilized parts. Was brutally tortured by the 40 year old pig who bought her from her family. Guess her family didn’t give a shit about who got their baby girl.

How plain sick does a family need to be to sell their child to a wicked monster, a 40 year old at that. They lost a daughter but maybe them fools gained a camel or 2.
