Sister Dianna Ortiz: American Nun Tortured and Gang Raped in Guatemala in 1989

Sister Dianna Ortiz, a Catholic nun, traveled to Guatemala in 1987 in order to teach children literacy, living in a more natural way and setting. For example, she enjoyed "Washing clothes in the river." Consequently, Guatemala was in a civil war, "One that the United States secretly funded," she said. Massacres, death threats, and disappearances were commonplace.
