Aurora Rodrigues

... that the Estado Novo deprived Aurora Rodrigues of sleep for over two weeks to induce hallucinations?

Source: "Torturés Sous la Dictature Portugaise, Ils Témoignent Contre L'oubli". La Croix (in French). AFP. 20 April 2014. Retrieved 11 May 2024. Privée de sommeil pendant 16 jours d'affilée et battue jusqu'à en perdre connaissance, Aurora Rodrigues a mis 36 ans à briser le silence sur sa souffrance, et refuse de passer l'éponge sur les crimes de la dictature qui a opprimé le Portugal de 1926 à 1974. [...] Aurora Rodrigues et Fernando Vicente n'ont pas parlé sous la torture. Pourtant, selon le docteur Afonso de Albuquerque, "la majorité des détenus cédait après quatre ou cinq nuits sans dormir", quand les hallucinations provoquées par le manque de sommeil les plongeaient dans un état de terreur et d'extrême fragilité.

New enough in mainspace and long enough. QPQ present. A terrifying story with hook fact that checks out to Google Translate. Suggestion for Rjjiii: Put the "two weeks" or 16 days figure in the body in addition to the lead. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 02:04, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
