People with disabilities can have unique and specific needs and these can be withdrawn as a torture method, causing physical or psychological damage. Humiliation is an intrinsic part of the process.
They can be subject to discrimination. Use of restraints, enforced administration of treatments, forced sterilisation, denial or erratic access to pain and other medication have been documented.
If people with disabilities need additional human support eg. to feed themselves, clean themselves, for ablutions, to turn around etc. this can be denied or delayed or offered in a humiliating manner or in a way that causes pain and discomfort.
