Russian 'Committee Against Torture' Concludes Annual Campaign '26 Rubles Against Torture'
Today, on the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, the Russian NGO 'Committee Against Torture' is concluding its annual campaign '26 Rubles Against Torture'.
The International Day in Support of Victims of Torture is observed worldwide, highlighting the scale of torture in various countries. In Russia, a permanent non-governmental organization, the Committee Against Torture, operates to combat torture and support victims.
On this day, the Committee concludes its annual campaign '26 Rubles Against Torture'. The campaign aims to raise public awareness about torture and show solidarity with victims, especially those who have suffered from violence by law enforcement agencies.
The Committee regularly monitors and documents cases of torture, provides legal assistance to victims, and advocates for their rights. The '26 Rubles Against Torture' campaign is a symbolic gesture, encouraging people to donate 26 rubles—an amount equal to the minimum fine for a minor offense in Russia. This highlights the idea that torture should not go unpunished and that society has a role in preventing it.
The campaign serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle against torture and the need for continued support for victims.
