Torture methods
Torture methods are techniques used to inflict severe physical or psychological pain on individuals, often to coerce information or punish. Historically, methods have included beating, electric shock, waterboarding (simulating drowning), and prolonged isolation. Psychological torture may involve threats, humiliation, or sensory deprivation. These practices are widely condemned by international law and human rights organizations, as they violate human dignity and can lead to long-lasting harm. The use of torture raises profound ethical issues and debates about effectiveness, legality, and morality.
