Would you work without a contract abroad in vague terms and promised a good salary?

01International Day in Support of Victims of Torture is held each year on June 26th to speak out against the crime of torture and to honour and support victims and survivors throughout the world. The day was selected by the UN for two reasons. First, on 26 June 1945, the United Nations Charter was signed – the first international instrument obliging UN members to respect and promote human rights. Second, 26 June 1987 was when the UN Convention against Torture entered into force. The first 26 June events were launched in 1998; since then, dozens of organisations in dozens of countries mark the day each year with events, celebrations and campaigns. Torture is not just an expression of sadism, practiced by those who deal with prisoners. It becomes an institution, part of the system, authorised by governments, connived by officials at every level, and accepted as a "necessary evil".
