הוועד הציבורי נגד עינויים בישראל

In a letter from the office of Israel's Attorney General PCATI was informed that lying about the arrest of family members in order to create pressure on an interrogee is inappropriate action. That is in response to the work of PCATI's legal department the State capitulated and indicated its (measured) agreement to cease and desist from what can only be described as the intentional infliction of severe mental pain on a detainee for the purpose of the interrogation: torture.
