accompaniers raped

Universal Justice: Rape as Torture from Women's Link Worldwide on Vimeo.

The video tells the story better than I could. I know of no other public case of international accompaniers being targeted and raped by public security forces. I am wildly proud of my friend Andrea and her colleagues at Women's Link for doing strategic legal work around it, and for telling the story this well as part of that work.
