Coinciding this year with the 30th anniversary of the UN Convention against torture, the OMCT launches, for the 3rd year in a row, its Campaign "10 Days of Activism against torture and ill-treatment" from the 1st to the 10th of December 2014.

Through 10 videos, 10 human rights defenders will speak out against torture and discuss the importance of the UN Convention against Torture and its implementation in their respective country.
