About the book
"Breaking Silence is a story documenting not only the most celebrated case in the international human rights field but also the human story behind it that gives it life. Young, seventeen-year-old Joelito Filartiga was taken from his family home in Asuncion, Paraguay, and brutally tortured and murdered by the Paraguayan police. Breaking Silence is the inside story of the quest for justice by his father - the true target of the police - Paraguayan artist and philanthropist Dr. Joel Filartiga. That cruel death and the subsequent uncompromising struggle by Joelito's father and family led to an unprececented sea change in international law and human rights."--BOOK JACKET.
