Dear fellow LGBTQ,

REFUSING TO KILL IS NOT A CRIME!

The UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT) which Guyana ratified on the 19th May 1988 defines torture as:

any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining information or a confession….or punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed.

Torture occurs:

British Refusenik L/Cpl Joe Glenton was told by a military court that he must remain in detention at Colchester military prison awaiting trial for desertion, unless he agreed to keep silent. He was arrested early November after speaking out against the presence of troops in Afghanistan. He risks up to 10 years prison for desertion and other charges.
