Mr. Taheri's family reports that he has been harassed in prison and pressured into giving a forced video confession.

塔赫里的家人报告称，他在狱中一直受到侵扰，并受到施压，要求其被迫录制视频供认罪名。

They would elicit forced confessions from  scapegoats and decree whatever punishment they deemed suitable.

他们会从替罪羊那里逼供，并下达他们认为合适的任何惩罚。

The jury never heard any argument pertaining to the possibility of a forced confession or that evidence could have been planted.

陪审团从未听过任何关于强迫认罪的可能性或证据可能已经植入的争论。

But there were dissenters all along– jurists, scholars, and physicians countered books like Kraemer's " Hammer of Witches" with texts objecting to the cruelty of the hunts, the use of forced confessions, and the lack of evidence of witchcraft.

但一直有持异议者——法学家、学者和医生们反驳像克雷默《女巫的锤子》那样的书，包括反对猎巫的残酷性、刑讯逼供，以及缺乏巫术存在的证据。
