Abstract
We construct (infinite) finitely presented simple groups that have subgroups isomorphic to Grigorchuk groups. We also prove that up to one
possible exception all previously known finitely presented simple
groups are torsion locally finite, that is they have no finitelt generated infinite torsion subgroups.
