Russia withdraws from European anti-torture treaty

We just got the news that Russia has officially ended its participation in the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture, following a law signed by President Vladimir Putin on Monday. The move comes after the Council of Europe declined to allow a Russian delegate on the body overseeing the treaty. Moscow framed the withdrawal as a response to what it sees as unfair treatment, breaking away from an agreement it had been part of for decades. What do you think about this?
