Abstract

In 1974, a young woman was arrested and tortured in Calcutta, India. After her release from detention, three years later, she filed a petition against her torturers. Ten years later, the case is still pending before a lower court in Calcutta. A review of the case indicates the need for great strength to survive torture without the loss of will to bring the case to justice.
