| Message | In a time of increasing violence and political unrest, information is vital. Some may say that torture could have extracted information that would have prevented Song Yi's premature death. We will not support. Peng Qigang Justice Critic |

| Message | I saw firsthand how torture was used to harm the souls of our peaceful and optimistic young people during protests against the Pua/RC regime. We must ensure that this power can never be used by the state so that all people can be safe to voice their opinions within our society. Li Jianhong Shadow Minister for Justice |

| Message | This legislation has the full support of the government. It is disgusting that the Republicans would attempt to use the tragic murder of a politician to destroy the rights of Indralan citizens. Numerous studies have shown torture does not work and the Ministry of Justice has no desire to utilise it. Chen Guanyu Minister for Justice |

| Message | Perhaps those opposed are too frightened to imagine what the implications of their betrayal to the people of Indrala might be... Peng Qigang Justice Critic |

| Message | The role of a government is to protect its citizens and ensure they are able to live their lives. TORTURING them is not a part of that. No wonder the Republicans are so out of touch with the average Indralan citizen. Chen Guanyu Minister for Justice |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
