(CNSNews.com) - The parents of Michael Brown are in Geneva, Switzerland Tuesday to tell the United Nations Committee Against Torture about the police "murder" of their son and the "excessive use of force" by Ferguson police against "peaceful protesters" following the August 9 shooting.
"Both issues represent violations of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment," said the 13-page statement submitted to the U.N. Committee Against Torture by the Brown family and the family's various support groups.
The U.N. Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment is a U.S.-ratified treaty that calls for criminal prosecutions for “complicity or participation in torture.”

Also appearing before the committee on Tuesday, the U.S.-based National Center for Lesbian Rights will argue that conversion therapy -- attempting to change someone's sexual orientation -- amounts to torture and/or cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment.
LOL!
Of course in public the worthless bureaucrats have to nod in agreement, but in private, even though they are worthless, the pretty much know what is torture and what isn’t, and they must snicker. Mightily.
Life is simple
Don’t rob people, don’t assault the police, and you will not get shot by the police.
Send her armed robbing = feral ass to live in a UN building in Brussels where she will be around likeminded ‘people’ and free of white oppression.
Problem solved.
It has most assuredly been torture to listen to cash-seeking layabout incompetent parents like these and those of Trayvon Martin attempt to portray their feral offspring as victims.
The parenting was torture.
It was cold today.
I started a fire in my fireplace.
It pretty much amounts to Nuclear Fusion. I’m pretty much generating 1.21 gigawatts.
Did his mom also tell the U.N. about the possible armed robbery charges against her and the beatdown she and her friends gave grandma for selling t-shirts?
“Parents” implies mother and FATHER.
Never heard of this guy before now.
Mike's mother should have taught him that.
Oh, wait. She had someone take a length of pipe to her mother in law and then stole $1200 from her. I guess it's not a lesson she can teach.
[eyeroll]
Grandma was torturing her by making money.
These socks I’m wearing are torturing me. Why won’t the UN help me???
The beloved parents of St. Michael the Thug on a speaking tour bashing America. The best of America on display to the world.
My cat claims that my making her wait until 7:00 AM for breakfast is torture. Can she get an all expense paid trip to Geneva to present her case?
Torture? What torture? Michael Brown was so full of THC from marijuana use that he could FEEL no pain, the one essential element of any kind of torture. His life ended quite quickly from bleed-out, so there was no long, drawn-out period of suffering after he was shot.
There may have been a couple of moments of consternation, and time for an “Oh, S**T!”, but that all passed swiftly.
Some 95% of all personal woe in this world is self-induced.
I'm sure she will be granted a full UN pardon.
oo, oooooh! I want to appear before the UN and argue that I am being forced to surrender my hard earned money to fund a useless anti-American agency and a entire class of privileged leisure-class “citizens” (wink wink) and it’s torture.
or government induced
“And where is my money?”
