Thank you for sharing this. Sister Dianna is an Ursuline (OSU) nun and the Director of the Torture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition International (TASCC) in Washington, D.C. What she endured is obvious as she recounts her story.
Description of the video from your link, cleaned up a bit:
TORTURE: U.S. personnel were present in interrogation and torture rooms,” in Guatemala in 1989 when Sister Ortiz was kidnapped, taken to a secret prison and repeatedly raped and tortured by troops commanded by General Hector Gramajo (a CIA asset and graduate of the U.S. Army School of the Americas). Eric LeCompte, Dir. of SOA Watch, who lived in a Washington, D.C. Assisi Community where Sr. Ortiz lived for a decade, describes Sr. Ortiz’ screams in the night. (no link to vid)
Ortiz, a speaker in Buffalo at the 24th annual Rev. Joseph Bissonette Latin American dinner, said there are more than a half-million survivors of torture living in the US; more than 150 governments, led now by the US, engage in torture:
"Many of our fellow Americans wear a blindfold hiding from the truth of what our government is doing. But each of you has eyes to see, ears to hear, and a voice to oppose this crime against humanity."”
Sr. Dianna is the author of The Blindfold's Eyes I also found the video in four parts on YouTube, but the Videos forum won't accept the links (and it only takes YouTube at the moment) so
go here as an alternative.
