This original NYT account by Simon Romero has a few new details about current President Dilma Rousseff's torture...while a student and guerrilla in the 70's.
Dilma...then 22...aka 'Estela'...spent 3 years in various prisons....often shocked with electric prods...and hung upside down...naked.
At least 2 of her teeth were dislodged...and her jaw still gives her problems.
She rarely discusses those years of torture...but many of her military torturers are still living and well.
Dilma enjoys 'Games of Thrones'...and has been known to berate her staffers to tears.
