Links to numerous articles about Sister Diana Ortiz
Sister Dianna Ortiz is certainly one of the most courageous individuals I have ever heard of. After being brutally tortured she has found the strength to speak out against torture even though it pains her greatly to recall her terrible ordeal.
I find it unimaginable that Christians can condone or support the use of torture in any way, shape or form. Sadly 62% of Evangelical Christians support the use of torture.
Warning some of these accounts are not for the faint of heart and in some cases involve explicit language.
