As standard-issue police equipment continues to be misused, leading to abuse and torture of peaceful protestors both on the streets and during detention, this animation emphasises the critical necessity of a Global Torture Trade Treaty. The urgent call is for stringent regulations that halt the supply of such equipment to abusive police and security forces. Additionally, the animation advocates for the outright prohibition of manufacturing and trading in inherently abusive equipment.

Through a combination of video footage, illustrations, and photography, the animation sheds light on these crucial points. The 'instruction manual' style used to illustrate the equipment adds a matter-of-fact look and feel, enhancing the impact and credibility of the message. The animation aims to galvanise support for the much-needed treaty and underscore the importance of global cooperation in addressing this pressing issue.
