No good news at all.:hmmm:

I guess we should defer to the experts. Must be all unicorns and rainbows in the rest of the world. :hmmm:

^ Only deviates from the problem. If you speak and think of yourself as the free world, the next best thing to sliced bread, defining standards for others, you have to accept to be measured by those :)

Of course it will still be better than any prison in, say, Turkey, or meanwhile Hungary and Poland. But the UN supervises the standards and rules, the free world and you yourself set once, for a civilised world. Should they really shut up?

Having said that, apart from the various public and private prisons, every country has those cellars with the white tiles and chains, to be used by their secret services. There is no rule or insight when it comes to that.

It depends. Did the same conditions apply during the last presidency of the United States, or do they only now feel like mentioning these conditions? :hmmm:

This reporting should be seen in the light of a non-colored report to throw a shadow over the globe as a whole.
