(1/3) Yesterday the Defence Secretary suggested torture is simply the "excessive use of an action". That is wrong. The prohibition of torture is absolute. There are no circumstances whatsoever where torture is acceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

I am deeply troubled by plans in the Overseas Operations Bill to excuse past torture if it took place more than five years ago. Torture is wholly immoral & an entirely ineffective tactic. The law must hold British soldiers to the highest possible standards.https://t.co/7EZB9koTni — PolitiTweet.org

(2/3) Torture blurs the line between Britain and our enemies. In the words of our most senior living soldier, Field Marshal Lord Guthrie, “We must not, in the false name of moral equivalence, degrade ourselves to their level." — PolitiTweet.org
