Tip of the moment... Please sign your name on talk pages It is proper "Wikiquette" (WI-kee-ket) to sign your messages on talk pages. This prevents readers from confusing your posts with messages by other users. To sign a message, move the cursor to the end of the message, and then with your mouse click on the signature icon () in the toolbar at the top of the edit box. This inserts the signature code (~~~~) where the cursor is. When you save the page, these tilde characters are converted to your signature followed by a date stamp. You can also type this code in manually with the four tilde characters ~+~+~+~. To sign without a date stamp, use three tildes ~~~ ~+~+~ instead. To sign only the date stamp, use five tildes ~~~~~ ~+~+~+~+~.

Most victims of torture are poor and marginalized people suspected of crimes, although torture against political prisoners or during armed conflict has received disproportionate attention. Torture is prohibited under international law for all states under all circumstances and is explicitly forbidden by several treaties. Opposition to torture stimulated the formation of the human rights movement after World War II, and torture continues to be an important human rights issue. (Full article...)
