They aren't. Some systems of moral values (e.g. act utilitarianism, a secular system) allow torture.
Apparently their less likely to allow torture however. I don't think there is a more clear cut moral value than being against torture. It doesn't benefit anybody and it fucking tortures someone. It even does long term bad things to the torturer.
