Reports suggest widespread use of torture by Cambodian police, military and prison authorities. It is commonly understood that any interrogation by state agents may involve torture. (See examples in Appendix D).
The methods of torture that have been revealed through surveys conducted by independent organisations are as follows:
- Beating with sticks and rods made of wood, rattan or bamboo;
- Beating with guns;
- Crushing of limbs;
- Whipping;
- Electric shock treatment;
- Suffocation with plastic bags or blankets;
- Threats to kill or harm using gun shots to frighten the victim;
- Denial of medical facilities; and,
- Threats to family members.
