Defining Torture
Torture is a deliberate and systematic dismantling of a person’s identity and humanity through physical or psychological pain and suffering. Torture’s purpose is to destroy a sense of community, eliminate leaders, create a climate of fear, and produce a culture of apathy. The most common forms of torture reported by CVT clients are beatings and psychological torture. It is estimated that there are more than 50,000 torture survivors in Minnesota and as many as 1.3 million in the U.S.
