Dominguez - This has been especially true because of the nature of dictatorships, where opposition is repeatedly silenced and repressed; international organization of secrecy and covert action; security policies of cold war politics; and the societal traumatization that has undoubtedly influenced many to remain silent and/or anonymous.
