    "content": "So, we need a prevention of torture Bill that reflects not only the convention against torture, principles we have signed up to, but also the requirements of our Constitution. Our Constitution in Articles 25, 29 and 52 talks about torture, dignity, proper treatment and prohibits torture, but the Constitution prohibiting torture needs an enacting legislation. We are pushing for that. Once we have the Prevention Against Torture Bill in place, I am sure it will work in tandem with the Witness Protection Bill which will be more robust through these amendments to make sure that people’s rights are protected."
