Folks, Here is an appropriate contact for protesting Tijans appointment as an attche at the Gambian Embassy in London. By post: Human Rights Policy Department Foreign & Commonwealth Office King Charles Street London SW1A 2AH By telephone: +44(0)207 270 3000 "Torture is abhorrent. Torture is illegal. Yet Torture is inflicted on men, women and children in well over half the countries of the world. Despite the universal condemnation of torture, it is still used to extract confessions, to interrogate, to punish or to intimidate. In Police stations and prison cells, on city streets and in remote villages, torturers continue to inflict physical agony and mental anguish. Their cruelty kills, or leaves scars on the body and mind that last a lifetime. The victims of torture are not just the people in the hands of the torturers. Friends, families and the wider community all suffer. Torture even damages and distorts the hopes of future generations." Abdoulie A.
