La pratique de la torture au cours des interrogatoires comprend souvent des méthodes qui n’ agressent pas le corps ou ne causent pas de douleur physique, mais qui entraînent une douleur et des souffrances psychologiques aiguës et qui altèrent profondément les facultés et la personnalité. La mise au secret et la privation prolongée de sommeil ne sont que deux exemples de ces méthodes de torture psychologique, Les méthodes psychologiques, qui ne s’apparentent pas à des mauvais traitements lorsqu'elles sont considérées isolément, sont assimilables à des traitements inhumains ou dégradants voire à des actes de torture quand elles sont appliquées conjointement avec d’autres techniques et/ou pendant de longues périodes. 1, record 5, French, - torture%20psychologique
