                     Sat 31 May 1997

                  Bristo Square Edinburgh

We often find it hard to believe that torture is widely used by many
so-called civilized countries, or that Britain is heavily involved in
the manufacture and export of torture equipment. This conference,
presented as part of Amnesty International's "Stop Torture" campaign
includes expert speakers and testimony from the victims of torture to
help people understand how, where and why torture is used and to
encourage the campaign to stop the use of this barbaric, degrading
and inhuman practice.

It will be of interest to all those who wish to know the truth about
what really goes on and Britain's complicity in it and who would like
to help end the use of torture.

Speakers include:
  Prof Derrick Pounder, Forensic Pathologist, University of Dundee
  Martyn Gregory - maker of the acclaimed TV documentaries "Torture
	Trail" and "Made in Britain"

Sessions include:
  Feedback on Amnesty's 'Stop Torture' campaign
  Training Workshops - how to help the campaign
  Testimony of the victims of torture

Refreshments included.

Places at the conference cost 5 pounds (or similar donation), free
for students. Tickets available on the door.
