Summary
The law consists of 6 articles. The first article amends the already existing Article 401 of the Penal Code, which criminalized “violent practices” aimed at extracting confessions, and punished those responsible with penalties ranging from three months to three years in prison. The amended article provides a definition of torture. The other articles cover subjects of: orders of torture, falling under statute of limitations (al-taqadum), evidence, procedures of investigations, and date of law’s entry into effect.
