In the report “Freedom of Religion or Belief and the Prohibition of Torture”, the UN Special Rapporteur Nazila Ghanea looks at how religious persecution is linked with human rights violations. The study which was discussed at the 58th session of the Human Rights Council and later made news by European Times News, focuses on how religious prejudice can lead to institutional violation.
The focus of the report is on the connection between coercion and religious freedom. According to European Times News, Ghanea said, “Not all forms of coercion reach the threshold of torture or ill-treatment, but all forms of torture committed on persons on the basis of their religion or belief constitute coercion.”

The socio-judicial treatment of domestic violence in France is a cause for concern. At a time when our country, the self-proclaimed defender of human rights, is struggling to protect children and their protective parents from domestic violence, it is crucial to highlight the serious malfunctioning of our institutions. These practices, which I describe in a file submitted to the UN Committee against Torture as a form of institutionalised torture, expose the victims to a double penalty: that of the violence suffered and that of the procedures that condemn them to injustice and create new traumas.
