'Song of the Nightingale.' Helen Berhane.

'Helen was detained for two years by the military junta in Eritrea, during which she was severely beaten and kept in a metal shipping container in the heat of the desert.
She and many other Christians who had been rounded up by the authorities were locked in the airless, unsanitary steel container, and left to bake in the desert by day and freeze by night.
She tells her story in her powerful new book, Song of the Nightingale, which is being published with the support of Release International.'

Perception?
