International Day in Support of Victims of Torture being observed today

International Day in Support of Victims of Torture is being observed on Monday, to remind people that human torture is unacceptable and a crime.

The United Nations in 1997 declared June 26 as the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture.

In a message, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said torturers must never be allowed to get away with their crimes, and systems that enable torture should be dismantled or transformed”,
