Twelve governments, including the U.S., Sweden and Greece, have pledged more than $700,000. In its report, Amnesty proposes a twelve-point plan to protect prisoners' rights, officially condemn torture, safeguard prisoners during interrogation, limit incommunicado detention and allow independent investigations into torture. "Torture can be stopped," the report declared. "What is lacking is the political will of governments to stop torturing people."
