Robin Rowland's blog on visual journalism, writing and life in general. I write in a renovated garret in my house in a part of Toronto, Canada, called "The Pocket."

Once the information about alleged torture is known or even suspected, the officials who have been told are obliged to carry out a thorough investigation.
