Tortura

Torture

La tortura es el acto de infligir deliberadamente un dolor físico o psicológico severo y posiblemente una lesión a una persona, por lo general a alguien físicamente restringido o bajo el control o la custodia del torturador y incapaz de defenderse de lo que se les está haciendo. La tortura ha sido llevada a cabo o sancionada por individuos, grupos y estados a lo largo de la historia desde la antigüedad hasta la actualidad, y las formas de tortura pueden variar mucho en duración de sólo unos pocos minutos a varios días o incluso más. Las razones para la tortura pueden incluir el castigo, la venganza, la reeducación política, la disuasión, el interrogatorio o la coerción de la víctima o un tercero, o simplemente la gratificación sádica de quienes llevan a cabo o observan la tortura. El torturador puede o no intentar matar o herir a la víctima, pero a veces la tortura es deliberadamente fatal y puede preceder a un asesinato o servir como una forma cruel de pena capital. En otros casos, el torturador puede ser indiferente a la condición de la víctima. Por otra parte, algunas formas de tortura están diseñadas para infligir dolor psicológico o dejar como poco daño físico o evidencia como sea posible, mientras que lograr la misma devastación psicológica.

Torture is the act of deliberately inflicting severe physical or psychological pain and possibly injury to a person, usually to one who is physically restrained or otherwise under the torturer's control or custody and unable to defend against what is being done to them. Torture has been carried out or sanctioned by individuals, groups and states throughout history from ancient times to modern day, and forms of torture can vary greatly in duration from only a few minutes to several days or even longer. Reasons for torture can include punishment, revenge, political re-education, deterrence, interrogation or coercion of the victim or a third party, or simply the sadistic gratification of those carrying out or observing the torture. The torturer may or may not intend to kill or injure the victim, but sometimes torture is deliberately fatal and can precede a murder or serve as a cruel form of capital punishment. In other cases, the torturer may be indifferent to the condition of the victim. Alternatively, some forms of torture are designed to inflict psychological pain or leave as little physical injury or evidence as possible while achieving the same psychological devastation.
