Kemal (Bosnian genocide survivor): Once I ended up in the Omarska camp I started recognising a lot of the guards. Some of them went to school with me and some of them were my teachers. There were maybe 500 of us in this room and you just couldn't sit on the floor. It was extremely humid, extremely hot. I was interrogated by my high school teacher. And he was possibly one of my favorite teachers ever. My role model became my torturer, my interrogator and my torturer. During my interrogation, I was only hit once. My older brother Kasim, he was savagely beaten. Some of his ribs were broken, other ribs were cracked. We were extraordinarily lucky to survive.

EachOther is a UK-focused charity that uses independent journalism, story-telling and film-making to put the human into human rights. The digital content we produce is grounded in the lived experience of ordinary people affected by human rights issues. We involve them in the process of developing their stories, rather than talking for or over them. Theirs are the voices we platform and amplify to our lay audience of over a million viewers each year. In this way, we hope to grow public support for human rights here in the UK.
