Amnesty International has for many years opposed torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of prisoners and detainees in all cases without reservation, and is therefore extremely concerned at reports indicating that the spread of hand-held electro-shock weapons amongst law enforcement officers is contributing to the incidence of torture and such ill-treatment.
Amnesty International pointed out that "the only apparent purpose for which electro-shock batons might be used by police officers against people in their custody would be to torture or ill-treat", but the government of Taiwan said such batons were for the self-defence of police officers.
Amnesty International received reports that Duong The Tung, aged 19, was tortured by police with electro-shock batons in an anteroom at the Ha Noi Peoples Court on 16 April 1996 while awaiting the verdict of his trial in which he confessed to the murder of a police officer and pleaded for clemency.

On the other hand, there was a higher morale and greater courage in the brigade and the republican army than among the fascists, and the brigade has as its due the greatest share of the honour for succeeding in stopping the fascist onslaught on Madrid at the end of 1936.
Another source of the growing Stalinist influence was the appearance of the Spanish CP as spokesman for all the petty bourgeois, moderate and conservative elements in regard to economic and social affairs, especially concerning the party’s struggle against collectivisation and for re-privatisation.
We were shown the photo of a young German captain in the International Brigade, where he was to have operated for the Trotskyists, and the photo showed us him as a terribly mutilated and maltreated corpse; but he had been murdered somewhere other than where the photo had been taken.
