| Quote: Shamik Dutta of Bhatt Murphy solicitors in London said: "The Home Office has repeatedly been criticised by our courts for unlawfully detaining the victims of torture and those suffering from mental illness. It is therefore inevitable that some of those people go on to suffer the terror of unlawful removal." | |

So if you were to unlawfully detain a victim of torture you would actually be reinforcing the trauma of the torture and effectively be torturing the person again. They might simply say anything to get out of the situation and so would be under extreme duress.
