Torture's Dual Assault: Body and Soul

Torture represents an extreme level of cruelty that not only inflicts physical pain but also seeks to destroy an individual's reputation, community standing, and personal dignity. This method of punishment combines physical suffering with emotional and social humiliation, aiming to obliterate a person's identity in front of others. The layered cruelty inherent in torture is particularly horrific, as it attacks both the body and the self, leading to a profound degradation of personhood beyond mere physical anguish.
