coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind. 10.6 From the investigations, the ZHRC was not provided with medical documentary evidence or any corroborative evidence to support the claim of torture. This was because the victim did not seek medical attention due to fear and the fact that there were no independent witnesses to the torture. However, the ZHRC found the victim’s version of facts to be credible and what happened to the second complainant fits into the definition of torture. He was hand and foot cuffed and had a piece of wood shoved down his anus during detention with the intention of forcing him to incriminate his brother, the 1st Complainant. The victim was also forced to drink some pills which caused him to fall into a deep slumber. He was denied food, assaulted and kept naked. All these acts, including the act of firing a gun several times close to complainant’s ears must have caused complainant severe physical and mental suffering. The persons who subjected complainant to torture were public officials, being members of the 1st and 2nd Respondents. On this ground, complainant’s right to be free from torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment was violated. 11.

Article 12 (1) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights provides for the right to liberty 17 | P a g e
