Perhaps our resident legal minds can decipher this odd piece of UK criminal law, Criminal Justice Act 1988, Part XI Torture, Section 134:http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/33/section/134
This passage caught my attention:This item was Tweeted AM today, in the belief it gave exemption from prosecution for acts of torture.It shall be a defence for a person charged with an offence under this section in respect of any conduct of his to prove that he had lawful authority, justification or excuse for that conduct.
