<< GENEVA (AP) � Amnesty International criticized the United States
on Tuesday for increasingly brutal police measures against crime
suspects, saying the use of pepper spray and stunning devices as
punishment constitute torture.
The London-based human rights group presented a report to the
U.N. Committee Against Torture, which meets Wednesday to consider
the U.S. record for the first time since Washington ratified a
convention outlawing torture in 1994.
Since then, the ``increasingly punitive approach toward
offenders (in the United States) has continued to lead to
practices which facilitate torture or other forms of
ill-treatment,'' Amnesty said. U.S. officials in Geneva for the
session had no immediate comment. >>
