To:

Last week, Nobel laureate Robert Auman called upon Esther Hayut, president of Israel's Supreme Court, to reconsider Amiram Ben Uliel's confession that he set a fire in the Arab town of Duma since his confession was given under torture. Auman said that Israel was in danger of becoming a police state.  

"There is no justification for the use of torture to extract a confession in any country in the world, democratic or not, as long as one wants to get to the truth," the professor lectured the judge, explaining: "A confession obtained under torture has nothing to do with the truth. The accused confesses because he cannot bear the torture, regardless of whether he committed the crime or not. Indeed, this is the purpose of torture – to extract a message from the accused, no matter what."
