Centers For Torture Victims

I have been looking online for some help for Torture Victims....listing here what I found legally for victims in the U.S....because I have been turned away by so many attorney's offices.  I find it particularly interesting that one of the places to go for help is "Bellevue" in New York....isn't that a "loony bin" as they used to call it? 

Apartheid is marginalization...and that is partially accomplished by shedding doubt on a person's character by taking away their credibility.

In Soviet Russia...political dissenters, scientists, philosophers and other genius level thinkers were sent to prison or mental hospitals to hush them up and discredit their voices.  Upon release, these people's lives are sometimes never the same.

I have been fighting what my family has been doing for 3 years...since 2012.  I have recorded it all on my 3 facebook profiles.   I have been turned down for help by 6 legal offices.
