It’s evidence of torture, whether it happened or not. Just like finding a body with a bullet through the back of the head is evidence of murder. It’s not evidence of alleged murder. It could still lead to the wrong conclusion, but that’s what the evidence points towards.
Part of the reason is likely the under-literate pedantics who have made people write out “most, but not all”.
The other part is quite possibly a pandering to the Zionists who might claim the writer is stating an actual accusation for the aforementioned reason. Writing “alleged” softens it and lets people roll their eyes when they say it. As if the protesters don’t know what real torture is.
All accusations of crimes are “alleged” until adjudicated in court. It’s standard practice for news reports to use this language

Yeah, but evidence doesn’t accuse. It documents. There’s a difference and it makes me mad seeing all of this “new Epstein documents allege…”
Yep! And by the time that happens we’ll all be mad about some other alleged crime against humanity instead.
Ah, the gift that keeps on giving
