Amnesty International. a respected internation nongovernmental organization concerned with political prisoners and prisoners of conscience. estimates that such prisoners exist and are tortured in over 60 countries. Torture and imprisonment of political prisoners is not limited to any particular ideology. it has become the major instrument of all forms of political oppression. Primarily. it is used against political dissenters and instills fear in others who may be considering dissent. While no government admits using torture. it is amply evident. In speaking to refugees and others who have experienced the wrath of such an inhuman experiencemany of whom still have the paralysis and indelible scars to prove their storiesit is obvious that government involvement. though disguised. is there nonetheless. Mr. President.
