The Pros And Cons Of Torture

Do you know torture even in 2016 is still practiced by 81 governments as an interrogation technique and also in other ways. When 9/11 happened and the United States detained people to find the person behind those attacks, all of those people had one thing in common they're religion. All of the detainees in Guantanamo bay detention camp were all Muslim. At the time of 13th February 2004 775 detainees were present. 99% of whom were innocent men.
