Read and reflect upon this award-winning story to understand how prisoners of conscience and the 'disappeared' suffer the denial of their basic human rights including:
- The right to a fair trial and to be free from arbitrary arrest and detention
- The right to freedom of religious belief
- The right to freedom of opinion and expression.
Suggested activities ask pupils to reflect more closely on their feelings and values, and include opportunities for discussion, poetry writing and role-play. At least two lessons would be needed to do all activities.
