Developments on the world political scene over the last year have had far-reaching effects on the lives of ordinary people in areas such as the Middle East and Eastern Europe. For the International Rehabilitation and Research Centre for Torture Victims (RCT) in Copenhagen these changes have led to a huge increase in calls on its service. In 1991, the continuing opening up of Eastern Europe made it possible to reach out to new countries where support is needed to establish centres offering training in RCT's treatment methods and information about torture, while the Gulf War created more urgent demands on its resources.
