PARLIAMENTARY SPEAKER SUPPORTS CAMPAIGN AGAINST TORTURE

ZAGREB, Jan 22 (Hina) - Parliamentary speaker Zlatko Tomcic on Monday signed a statement in support of Amnesty International's Campaign Against Torture. The campaign was launched in mid-October last year, when members of Amnesty International Croatia surrounded Cvjetni trg square in downtown Zagreb, symbolically proclaiming it a torture-free zone. On Wednesday, the organisation's members will surround the parliament building. Soon it will also be the turn of the government, the president of the republic's office, and the ministries of the interior and foreign affairs, they said after meeting Tomcic. According to the parliamentary speaker, "the Amnesty International initiative is a praiseworthy symbolic gesture, as present-day relations among states have to rely on real democracy, which is founded on the respect of basic human rights."

According to the parliamentary speaker, "the Amnesty International initiative is a praiseworthy symbolic gesture, as present-day relations among states have to rely on real democracy, which is founded on the respect of basic human rights." Tomcic said his public support to the Campaign Against Torture confirmed Croatia's commitment to human rights. "Given that torture and other cruel or degrading conduct or punishment are violations of human rights, which is prohibited in all circumstances, I will do everything in my power to make the Republic of Croatia and the whole world a torture-free zone," read Tomcic's statement of support. The delegation acquainted Tomcic with their human rights promotion programme and their efforts aimed at the passing of a special law on civilian conscription, a programme of 12 key guidelines to train state servants for respecting human rights, and raising public awareness in connection with the Campaign Against Torture.
