Not sure if this should be in here or in GD, but I found the following in a magazine dated Nov 8th 2001. The newspaper the info is taken from is not dated, but I know from experience with this mag that it will have been during the last 6-12 months:

"Trade in tools of torture is on the rise," says an article in the German newspaper Sudwest Presse. According to .. Amnesty International, 150 companies around the world have allegedly joined this gruesome trade, including 30 in Germany and 97 in the United States. Their wares include .. leg irons and serrated thumb cuffs .. high voltage electroshock devices .. remotely controlled belts that send up to 50,000 volt electric shocks through the victims body. Such high-tech tools are preferred by torturers, since they hardly leave any traces on their victims.

.......

I think this is appalling! Do you think, as I do, that the manufacture of such devices should be banned by law? At present, our goverments ALLOW it, for pete's sake!
