Tell Your Candidates to Prevent Torture

Ireland is one of the only European countries which doesn't have independent inspections of all places of detention. Allowing independent inspections of places of detention like nursing homes and direct provision centres would help protect some of the most vulnerable in our society from human rights violations and mistreatment including torture. 

We're asking candidates to ratify the Optional Protocol to the UN Convention Against Torture (OPCAT) and immediately establish a National Preventive Mechanism to prevent torture.
