Blindfolding of prisoners


  • Hooding of detainees

Incidence

Interrogation with torture is often conducted with the prisoner blindfolded. The prosecution of torturers is consequently often virtually impossible because of inability to identity them.

Claim

  1. The ignominious practice of hooding or blinding prisoners is highly intimidating and is a violation of the duty to respect a detained person's inherent dignity.
