Star Trek The Next Generation Season 6 Episode 11 - Chain of Command (Part 2).m4v
Picard's team has been lured to the Cardassian planet Celtris III's fake biological weapon-installation where he is captured and interrogated at the threat of death and truth-drugged. The Enterprise's present Captain Edward Jellico believes the negotiations with the Cardassians are heading for war, especially now Picard's failed intrusion is reported by the scandalized Cardassians. Picard is stripped naked and suspended by the wrists for a thirsty night before torture by a pain-inducing implant made with a jevonite knife. The Cardassians prove to Jellico that Picard is captured but deny the agent POW status, so he will suffer a terrorist's fate unless the Federation admits starting a war or retreats from the sector. After scanning the Cardassian ship for indications where they were, Jellico, Data and Geordi guess right - Picard was tricked to betray the Federation defense plans for Minos Kordas and get permission to make a bold countermove, requiring best pilot Riker, who openly disapproves of Jellico's cold style and attitude. As Picard resists physical pain, psychological torture by lies is used, but he also finds a way to retort there. —KGF Vissers
While God ordained civil penalties like execution in the Old Testament, deliberately harming or desecrating the human body seems nowhere endorsed or condoned. Subjecting a defenseless person to horrific pain and injuries is a desecration of holy ground. -source: https://www.answerthebible.com/what-does-the-bible-say-about-torture/
