Is psychological torture illegal in the UK? Perhaps the reason I’ve been so unable to get any help in nearly 15 years is because, well, psychological torture isn’t illegal. The 1984 United Nations Convention Against Torture (CAT), ratified by the UK and every European country, expressly and clearly prohibits psychological torture. But perhaps, although ratified, the prohibition against psychological torture simply hasn’t been written into British laws on torture?
Psychological Torture By A Public Official Is Illegal And Carries A Life Term
According to Justice.org.uk :
In addition to the established common law provisions, section 134 Criminal Justice Act 1988 makes it an offence for any public official to ‘intentionally inflict severe pain or suffering on another in the performance … of his official duties’. This provision was introduced to honour the UK’s commitments under the 1984 UN Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (the Torture Convention).
According to provision 1 of section 134 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 :
A public official or person acting in an official capacity, whatever his nationality, commits the offence of torture if in the United Kingdom or elsewhere he intentionally inflicts severe pain or suffering on another in the performance or purported performance of his official duties.
Provision 3 makes it clear that this includes psychological torture.
(3)It is immaterial whether the pain or suffering is physical or mental and whether it is caused by an act or an omission.
Provision 6 states that the punishment for a public official who engages in torture, is life in prison.
A person who commits the offence of torture shall be liable on conviction on indictment to imprisonment for life.

For nearly 15 years the police in the UK have pointed me out, directly or indirectly, to hundreds of security guards. Not only security guards, but shop workers, bar staff, restaurant workers. They haven’t simply pointed me out to these hundreds or thousands of people with the message – ‘keep an eye on him’. They’ve advised, incited, or encouraged all those people to let me know that they are ‘watching me’, or rather, theatrically and sadistically that they are ‘not watching me’. For example, exaggeratedly looking up at the ceiling or past me when I walk into a store etc. And when I make complaints to the stores in question, this is always denied, often aggressively, or more often ignored (but my complaints are passed on and the next time I visit the store, the security guard/staff will be even more aggressive and abusive).
And presumably at their behest, their colleagues in 13 other European countries have done exactly the same thing. For nearly 15 years. And they are still doing it today, with no sign that they have any intention of ever stopping until I’ve lost my mind completely or am driven into suicide.
And they have done this in the knowledge that I’ve suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. Or more precisely, they’ve clearly done this because of the fact I’ve suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, and they know it will cause me extreme psychological distress and suffering.
What they have done – deliberately gaslighted me in 13 different countries for nearly 15 years – would be unambiguously psychological torture under any reasonable interpretation of provisions 1 and 3 of the 1988 Criminal Justice Act, if it had been done to a healthy person, let alone somebody such as myself, who has been previously diagnosed and hospitalized for paranoid schizophrenia.
The provision 1 of section 134 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 makes clear that the nationality or the location of the public official is irrelevant. The UK police should be attempting to have the public officials in those 13 different European countries extradited to the UK to stand trial for the torture inflicted upon my person. Instead, the public officials (i.e. police and others) in those dozen or more countries were actually acting under the encouragement of the UK police.
Note that ‘misfeasance in a public office’ is also a criminal offence carrying a life term.
