WATCH: Martial Law victim still carries trauma of the past

Decades after the Martial Law, a human rights victim vividly recalls the the torture methods he experienced in detention.

Back in the 1970s, Felix Dalisay was a leader of the Kabataang Makabayan (Nationalist Youth). He actively joined protests to fight for the rights of the urban poor.

Dalisay went underground after he has been placed in the wanted list of the security forces for leading demonstrations. He and cousin, prolific writer Butch Dalisay, experienced torture methods during the dark dictatoship.

Now at age 64, he vividly recalls the painful memories decades after Martial Law. He said he and other victims still carry the trauma, especially that the issue of the proposed hero’s burial for the late President Ferdinand Marcos is alive again. – Rappler.com
