Violence Is Not the Solution

Violence is Not the Solution – Venta needed treatment for his drug problem. Instead, he was tortured. In all corners of the world, people who use drugs are forcibly detained in “rehabilitation” centers where they may be subjected to beatings, forced labor, medical experimentation, denial of basic health care (including evidence-based drug treatment), and other severe human rights violations.
