7- Part 2 Uncovering the truth of the paradise archipelago;the Seychelles. Talking with International Investigator of the TRC Demetri Wijesinghe
Today is part two of our documentary series on the Seychelles Truth, Reconciliation and National Unity Commission . Beneath the surface of this paradise archipelago lies a hidden and tragic history of torture, murder and forced disappearances. I speak with Demetri Wijesinghe, an international investigator at the TRC and ask him how he managed to persuade the high level intelligence operatives, military officers and perpetrators of death squads to open up and reveal their truths, and how the victims families felt when finally facing these perpetrators.
We discuss whether the process helped them and country move forward and whether justice and reparations will ever be delivered.
As always we connect how these processes of truth telling could be applied in the Uk context when looking into our colonial past. The aim of which is to create dialogue over division, and help us overcome the toxic culture wars of today.
