THEMATIC REPORT 2017 in military camps or facilities and prisoner of war, labour, concentration or extermination camps. These camps were either under the jurisdiction of the Serbian authorities (in the occupied territories of Croatia) or they were camps in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, under the jurisdiction of the Croatian and Bosnian authorities. The main torture methods used were beating (blunt trauma), humiliation of the victim, threats, conditions of detention and witnessing the torture of others. In Mexico, torture also occurs in the context of the criminalisation of protests, and in the case of migrants, when they are transiting the country (recorded under the ‘Other’ data category, see figure 2.2), mainly at the hands of the immigration authorities or other state agents. The majority of CCTI’s clients have been tortured in detention or on the road. Torture victims are detained arbitrarily and often first tortured whilst in transit to the detention place, for example in patrol cars. Methods of torture used in such circumstances tend to be beating (blunt trauma), positional torture, threats and insults. The time between the person being detained and being brought before a judge is often lengthy, allowing for torture to be perpetrated on multiple occasions. In Kenya, a high proportion of the clients suffer torture at the time of arrest or whilst the person is in detention. According to Mateso’s client data, the most common locations where torture occurs are the victim’s home, secret places of detention, police stations, military camps or prisons. The main torture methods used are beating (blunt trauma), with REDRESS AND REPARATIONS Figure 2.1 Broader Context of Torture: The Philippines 1 Criminalisation of protest 127 Military operations 71 Other 19 Police and security forces operations 53 Not known Number of incidents 0 30 60 90 120 150 Figure 2.2 Broader Context of Torture: Mexico 1 Ethnic conflict 20 Criminalisation of protest 2 4 Dictatorship Military operations 25 Police and security forces operations 52 Other 20 Not known Number of incidents 0 page 13 10 20 30 40 50 60
