Had been exposed to many tortures. Even his family were raped. After great bargains, he could get rid of the prison . And the day has come and Sandinistas has taken the government in Nicaragua. Tomas Borge, known as hardliner, became the  interior minister of Nicaragua, as one of  the founder of the Sandinista movement. One day, his torturer had been captured and had been bringing to him "Why are you bringing the torturer to me, take it to court," he said.This miraculous behaviour had get into a symbol of reconciliation in Nicaragua. While Torturer in court has been questioning, the judge asks Borge:
