    "content": "Clause 5 of the Bill creates the offence of torture and its penalty. If you commit torture, what are the penalties? A person who tortures another person shall upon conviction be liable to imprisonment of a term not exceeding 20 years. I want to plead with the House not to reduce that penalty. There are many acts you can commit, but when you torture another human being and degrade him or her, or do inhumane things to that human being, you must suffer a sentence not exceeding 25 years. In the event the victim you have tortured dies, the person is liable to conviction to life imprisonment. I really do not want the House to amend that. If a person dies through torture and pain, the offender must face life imprisonment."
