Ways of torturing.
It must be noted that not all victims attempted to appeal against perpetrators who inflicted torture and illtreatment. Some of them explained that they could not appeal while being held in TDFs, and others said they did
not know who to do that. One of TDF detainees said he “did not make a complaint since he had no chances.”
Detailed description of how other victims appealed against torture and ill-treatment is provided in the chapter
on “Responding to Reports of Torture” hereof.
