UN International Day in Support of Victims of Torture

The United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture is an international observance held annually on 26 June to speak out against the crime of torture and to honor and support victims and survivors throughout the world. The first 26 June events were launched in 1998.

It’s one thing to survive torture. For International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, Dr Ali Siddiqi explains why proving it happened can be so traumatic.
