REPORT: After 7 years of work, law criminalizing torture published in official gazette

After seven years of hard work, the new law criminalizing torture was published in the official gazette.

The law, which was deemed positive by some, was criticized by others as incomplete and containing loopholes.

 

[The law establishes a range of penalties depending on the effect of the torture – from 1 to 3 years in prison for cases that do not result in physical or psychological harm; 3 to 7 years if it leads to temporary disability, harm, or physical or psychological impairment; 5 to 10 years if the harm is permanent; and 10 to 20 years if it leads to death.]
