Pope calls on Church to pray in June for abolition of torture

The Pope condemns not only the most violent forms of torture, but also those that are “more sophisticated, such as degrading someone, dulling the senses, or mass detentions in inhumane conditions.” Horrified that it is currently still practiced, the Pope calls on the international community to “commit itself concretely to abolish torture, guaranteeing support to victims and their families.”
