Article-Summary: 

Torture by State agents continues unabated in spite of government assurance that there is no institutionalised sanction of its use, the 2003 Uganda Human Rights Commission report has revealed. "Going by the complaints at the Commission, torture seems to be a method of work in some security organs. It is either presented as part of training, or a learned practice that is indispensable in the operations of some security organs," the 6th annual report said.
