I'm afraid that just trying to tag Portugal with certain behaviour is rather trite.
Perhaps you can remind me of which members of the PJ have served a sentence for 'torturing' Cipriano, the convicted child murderer and convicted liar, who of course had her sentence extended.
She, of course gave multiple varied accounts of what happened to her.
Strawman!
Actually, a
double strawman.
The Portuguese courts found it proved that Leonor Cipriano had been tortured in police custody, but did not convict any of the policemen,
proven to be with her at the time of the torture, because Leonor's torturers had had the, (ahem)
foresight! to put a bag over her head before they tortured her, so she could not identify her aggressors.
Leonor is not a particularly well-educated woman, subjected to a terrifying ordeal, while temporarily, and very nearly
permanently, deprived of one of her vital senses,
sight.
And she promptly had her sentence increased because she is (deemed) not to have got her facts entirely straight about the details of that terrifying ordeal.
The just (and logical) result of it being proved she was tortured is that her conviction should have been quashed.
