> this was restricted to things that they did not regard as torture, such as drugging people, putting things into their colons

What the fuck? Amazing I never heard about this, even doing my best to follow the 'extraordinary rendition' atrocities.



It's a lot less bad than the worst stuff, so it's easy to miss. Sweden lost a case in the ECHR due to this one, and we didn't really participate and instead had obtained guarantees that weren't held to.


My comment above is wrong, it wasn't ECHR, it was the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
