Ang CHRP Parallel Report sa CAT para sa 57th Session sa Committee Against Torture

In this report to the Committee against Torture, the CHRP highlighted its concern at the dearth in the prosecution of cases of alleged torture, which remains an unfulfilled obligation of the State Party. The CHRP noted in this report some of the challenges faced by victims, such as the insistence of public prosecutors on positive identification of the alleged torturer when, often times, the victim is blind-folded and on the existence of a visible or permanent physical injury.

The CHRP further lamented that the use of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment remains part of the practice of law enforcement officials of the State Party. The CHRP hoped that the Committee would strongly urge the State Party to take all necessary measures to ensure that its public officials receive the appropriate training, and to ensure the prompt investigation of complaints of torture and the prosecution of perpetrators.
