A strong message

Warning: some viewers may find this upsetting.

Today is the United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture and Irish humanitarian organisation SPIRASI has released a video to mark the day.

Peter Coonan, Christy Moore, Andy Lee, Katie Taylor and more well-known Irish people take part in the video as they read out true experiences of torture victims.

Just to warn you again that it’s pretty harrowing in places, you can watch the powerful video here.
