Torture is an uncomfortably broad definition, taking many forms for many results. Violence isn't necessarily required to be inflicted, although the threat of violence is almost always present. For an example of what that would look like you should read up on the East German Stasi; some of that stuff will chill your blood, fair warning.

With that said, a few kicks and punches usually don't qualify as torture, and under the circumstances its not hard to see why Suzaku would be somewhat upset with Lelouch.
