1. People in prison
for speaking truth to power
people stripped of rights
too brave to yield and cower
people forced to breaking point
to speak on pain of death
Refrain: We honour! Honour! Honour your humanity!
Your courage making others whole and free.
Your torturers are thwarted
your torturers subverted!

Shamal Salim created
this nightmare image drawing on the terrible memories of his
torture in Iraq. The images flooded out during his treatment
at the Danish Rehabilatation and Research Center for Torture
Victims.
