Philippines: Stand up to torture: A guide to getting justice in the Philippines

Amnesty International have designed this booklet to help people who may have been tortured to understand the options available and what the process will be. It focuses on abuses by the police, but some of the ways of getting justice – such as through the National Prosecution Service, Office of the Ombudsman, Civil Service Commission and Commission on Human Rights – also apply if an individual has been abused by military officers or other persons of authority. A list of non-governmental organizations that can help is also included.
