HARDtalk:
Helen Bamber
On
麻豆官网首页入口 News 24's HARDtalk tonight (Tuesday 11 March 2003), Sarah Montague
interviews Helen Bamber, Medical Foundation for Victims of Torture.
It
is said that torture is an attempt to kill a man or woman without
them dying. How does an individual cope with that? For many people,
the mental barriers they put up in self-defence are very difficult
to take down when they no longer need them.
The
Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture was set up
by Helen Bamber to help these people. It deals with 5,500 new cases
every year in Britain.
These
are people who genuinely need sanctuary. But they've come to Britain
for help, at a time when there's little public sympathy for asylum
seekers.
