    "content": "come out of whatever place they were in--- I have heard of cases where some of them were paralysed and some were made impotent. We should pass this Bill so as not to experience this kind of torture that the victims have gone through. The other thing is that once it is proved that a victim has been tortured, we should have mechanisms for compensation and I think it is suggested in this Bill. In cases where somebody loses almost all his property and time because of detention, that person should be compensated once it is proved that he has been a victim of torture. Much as I support this, I do not think hardcore criminals care whether they will die. We have had cases where hardcore criminals have been difficult to rehabilitate. Even when you take them to a place where they are supposed to go through the psychological change of mind, it becomes very difficult and sometimes they do not even change. They change their ways for two or three years and when a crime is committed somewhere else, you find that the same people are mentioned or arrested. This Bill should be supported and I hope that we will train our State agents to extract information in a more humane way than through torture. With those few remarks, I support the Bill."
