beating the required testimony out of...

His superiors praised him for beating the required testimony out of those arrested.
Peer comment(s):

agree Alexander Demyanov : I'd say "needed" or "desirable" rather than "required".++I may be wrong and usage differs w/geography but to my ear "required" implies "by rules, regulations" and such, as in "system requirements", "prerequisites required for the course", etc.

Thank you. I don't see what is wrong with "required"; presumably he obtained the testimony his superiors required him to obtain.

Thank you.
agree Mikhail Kropotov : To add to the mix, i like both desired AND required :) The testimony was required from the beater, and for his boss it was desired. Okay, a fresh idea - how about "the right testimony"? ADDED: You admire? I must be on fire :=]

beating the needful/desired confessions out of arrestees

squeezing (выдавливать), torturing the desired confessions out of arrestees, etc.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Alexander Demyanov : 1. только не "needful"; 2. Confession - это признание. А показания могут быть не на себя, а на других людей.
