Civil society is working for a #TortureFreeTrade Treaty. Thank you to UN Special Rapporteur Gina Romero for lending her support! Omega Research Foundation Gina Romero

A #TortureFreeTrade (TFT) treaty could advance greatly in the protection of human rights and prevention of torture in the context of peaceful protests. Thanks to the delegates of #Mexico and #Colombia for accepting the invitation to talk about this possibility.

“Nobody should have to suffer the pain that we have endured. Torture is designed to break bodies and minds; … If a Torture-Free Trade Treaty would spare even one person the horrors that we have experienced, it is worth any effort that doing so would require.”

Such a privilege to work with the #TortureFreeTrade Network 💖

Around the world, specialist equipment is used to torture people at protests and in detention. Join us in calling on States to act: amnesty.org/en/petition/ta… #TortureFreeTrade #ProtectTheProtest

It is outrageous that there are no international #HumanRights-based controls on the trade in equipment used for torture. We need a #TortureFreeTrade Treaty! #ProtectTheProtest

Stop the trade in tools of torture. We are at #UNGA with other members of the #TortureFreeTrade Network to call on States to take action towards a treaty to regulate the trade in equipment used for #torture, uphold #HumanRights, & #ProtectTheProtest: amnesty.org/en/petition/ta…

Great news from #TheGambia! It time for a #TortureFreeTrade Treaty!
