Torture based on religious identity

If people in custody have certain beliefs, rituals, customs or practices these can be targeted. This includes preventing their method of praying, religous taunts, mocking gods/goddesses, forcing them to practice what goes against their religion or preventing them from practicing what is essential to their religion. People in custody can also be made to work more, tortured more, denied basic services and other forms of discrimination entirely because of their religious identity.
