<strong>ABSTRACT</strong>   Custodial death is the most ominous indicator in our country's capture, detention, and remand. It has now become all the rage across the country. Deaths in police custody usually generate a great deal of public attention and are frequently coupled with causality disputes. Accused individuals frequently come into encounter with the criminal justice system, with those suffering from mental illnesses over-represented in police custody. As a result, identifying vulnerability is critical in order to guarantee that proper precautions may be put in place. <em>This

There has been an alarming rise into the cases of custodial violence since the deployment of counter-insurgency security forces in the region. The present study is an attempt to answer the research question that whether custodial violence in </em><em>Kashmir</em><em> is an unavoidable consequence of the counter-insurgency operations by the security forces or is it a deliberately selected method of the counter-insurgency policy of the state?

Abstract:

Background: The most of critique is based mainly on the previous literature, namely, that Chinese dynamic institutional structures’ silence may have exacerbated the miscarriage of justice and obtain illegal evidence in criminal proceedings in China. However, the fact that torture to extract confessions and maltreatment of prisoner’s cases involve judicial decision-making by Chinese hierarchical courts has been disregarded. Objective: Taking China's outward telling and internal judicial reforms as starting positions, the article focuses on address the knowledge gap that torture to extract confe

Abstract:

This Perspective piece builds on recent scholarship that has begun to explore extra-carceral governmental actions that constitute torture or ill treatment of socially and economically marginalized populations. We advocate for a more contextual approach to the understanding of what constitutes torture or ill treatment, and, consequently, a more expansive interpretation of states’ obligations to prohibit and prevent it under international law. Following this more contextual approach, we describe several case examples of abuse directed at various marginalized communities that might constitute tor

Abstract:

Although considered an ancient concept, torture is still practised globally, and with more meticulousness and sophistication than ever before. Custodial violence refers to a form of torture that is experienced physically, psychologically, or emotionally in the custody of a lawful authority. The international legal regime on torture is an area of convergence between international human rights law and humanitarian law, both of which condemn torture in any form. Torture Behind Bars analyses the context of torture and ill-treatment of prisoners and crimes committed by the members of the police for

This chapter marks the gendered division of memoirs and testimonies that have been attempted in this book. This is based on the assumption that women and men experienced the war differently and found themselves in different situations and roles. When they become the author of their own stories, the gendered nature of war itself becomes clear. While memoirs are written by middle class women, testimonials are more diverse. This chapter also studies in detail the work done on victims of wartime rape (birangonas), custodial torture, and sexual violence in Bangladesh. Worls of authors such as Jahan

Introduction: The forty passiones translated in this volume represent a genre of Christian-Latin literature that has seldom attracted attention and is poorly understood; yet in sum they constitute a remarkable body of literature composed during the period between 425 and 675, and provide valuable evidence of the sentiments and beliefs of ordinary Christians of that time — their aversion to pagan practices, their admiration for virginity, their firm commitment to orthodoxy — as well as evidence for the machinery of Roman legal procedure. Since the passiones appear to have been composed by the c

From its inception as a fortress and place of torture to becoming a world known symbol of hospitality, the San Giorgio Castle of Lerici represents a landmark in the landscape we now call the Gulf of Poets - of La Spezia, in the Italian region of Liguria. Its monumental and consciously asymmetrical forms have generated authenticity and picturesque beauty, making it an icon on the world stage. As depicted in paintings and drawings of the past centuries, artists and admirers of the manor continue to depict the Castle deeply in both subjective and collective imagination.
