In 1985, Governor Rudy Perpich helped create the Center for Victims of Torture — the first of its kind in the nation. Since then, the Center has helped thousands from around the world recover from the trauma caused by torture. CVT director Curt Goering and Annie Sovcik, director of the Center’s Washington office, join TruthToTell to discuss the challenge of combating torture in the age of Trump.
