Diss Amnesty Group welcomes former socialist prisoner Perico Rodriguez for talk
published 09:00 Saturday 04 April 2015
A man who was imprisoned and tortured in an Argentinian jail for three years is set to return to the group that aided his safe release 36 years ago to talk about his ordeal and his work supporting other victims.
Perico Rodriguez was repeatedly tortured following the 1976 military coup in Argentina led by General Jorge Videla.
But through the action of two of his London friends, plus the work of the Diss Amnesty Group, his release was secured and he settled in Britain.
He now works for Freedom from Torture, which provides direct clinical services to survivors of torture who arrive in the UK.
