Two thirds of detainees said they were not given defence lawyers.
International officials in Kabul said they welcomed the findings, but were now waiting to see if police and security chiefs implicated in torture would be fired and prosecuted. In the past, torturers have only been moved on to other police stations, or even promoted."
