Slow justice for women abused by Chile's dictatorship.

Bataszew, now a 66-year-old psychologist, was arrested in September 1974 for being a member of Chile's Revolutionary Left Movement.

She survived seven days of horror in a detention center that specialized in sexual torture seeking to break the morale of captured female activists and send a message to others.

Detainees were blindfolded on arrival and left that way throughout their stay in overcrowded cells. Music blared non-stop to drown out the sounds of torture -- earning the center the wry nickname "The Disco."
