ABSTRACT
Torture is one of the easiest human rights violations to commit, since it is the most private of human rights violations. Torture almost always takes place in isolation: in the detention cell, in the interrogation room, in the torture chamber. It is anonymous; the victim hardly ever sees the face of his torturer, since in most cases he is blindfolded or hooded. Giving torturers a face is exposing them to the outside world, making them accountable by addressing their own human dignity which is fatally impaired by their atrocities. The process of being drawn into the web of torture starts considerably earlier than the moment in which a person finds himself by superior order faced with the choice to become a torturer or not. The tapes of the shrill cries of the prisoners previously tortured are played out through loudspeakers which have been set in each corner of the torture room.
