And on Wednesday, July 29. Attorney Ray Schumann sent this interesting letter and flyer regarding the observance of this occasion:  

Dear Community,

July 31st is World Day Against Electronic Torture and the thought is we can all do a little something, rather than all of us doing a whole lot of nothing.  

One thing we can deal with is this issue:  Whenever these events come around,
the public wonders why stalking happens, concludes it is improbable, and then walks away.

To address this, me and a TLC volunteer made a flyer (posted below) featuring Bald Eagles and showing people in the United States one reason why it happens: 

Because these sadistic tortures are broadcast in Asia and elsewhere, as psycho porn. The UN Rapporteur on Torture refers to this as "on demand" TV for "voyeuristic clients" and I have linked that section of this report here:

https://thelegalcoop.wordpress.com/2020/07/29/action-support-people-during-july-31sts-world-day-against-electronic-torture-aka-cybertorture/

Just as there is an audience for Dexter and Punked, there is one for abuse. 
I hope you join me in condemning this Psycho Porn.

The flyer has QR codes linking to a news story on the Guardian, the
UN Rapporteur's report on my site, and the Cyber-Torture.com website.

Please share by print, leaflet, telephone posts; or just twitter, facebook and email,  The image and art are copyright free. 

Other flyers from the organizers of the event are on the blog post, along with the specific citation to the UN Report on Torture confirming these tortures exist, are followed by intimidation and harassment, and are insidious. 

We appreciate your reading through this work, which is done on a shoestring budget. We are working to expose perpetrators who get caught, and to help restore people affected by these abuses.  If you would like this work to continue, please encourage us with any sized donation at gofundme.com/thelegalcoop

Cheers,
Ray Schumann

 More Freedom for Many in 2020!
