The Torture Victim Protection Act of 1991 allows victims of torture, extrajudicial killing, or other gross human rights violations to bring a civil action against individuals who have committed such acts while acting in an official capacity for a foreign state. In this case, Yen Singh was physically assaulted and victimized by the labor union, which is not a foreign state, but the act of torture falls under the scope of the TVPA. Therefore, Yen Singh can file a complaint in the district court under the Torture Victim Protection Act of 1991.
