   This statement was made by Thabo Chelechele, network co-ordinator for Amnesty International's group at the University of Pretoria. Horror evidence came to light during the group's launch of Amnesty International's tactical campaign against torture on Sunday.
   
   As June 26 is the United Nation's International Day in support of victims of torture, it was decided to launch the campaign, which will run until December. Chelechele said the world knew about torture in African countries. Most of the perpetrators were officials, the government or security forces who were supposed to protect the citizens.
   
   "The disturbing news is that you will find torture in almost all the SADC countries ­ countries that all signed treaties that they were against torture," he said. He urged students to lobby NGOs and religious groups to join the campaign against torture, saying they had to insist that people who committed these atrocities be brought to book.
