Your #TortureFreeWorld

"Track Impunity Always (TRIAL) works along with victims of the most atrocious human rights violations, among them torture. We help the victims to get justice for the crimes they suffered. TRIAL's Director Philip Grant gave a voice to these victims in March 2015 in Geneva. Hear three victims' stories through Philip's Grant's voice."

"A #TortureFreeWorld is a world where personal freedom is a virtue, as is social enhancement. Where religions do not promote violence, nor do they promote torture as a virtue. Where governments that torture do not have the support of the international community, and where the word 'torture' doesn't have a definition in peoples' minds."
Feras Fawzi, Jeddah
"A #TortureFreeWorld is a world where all humans are equally treated, and no one in this world is 'greater' or 'lower' than the other."

"A #TortureFreeWorld is a world where a child's best interests are truly upheld, and NO child is in immigration detention. It is a world where we stop attempting to confront complex human migration with prisons, and a world where refugees, asylum seekers and migrants are seen as benefits rather than threats.
Ben Lewis, Advocacy Coordinator, International Detention Coalition
