Mr. McHeneley: [the British are trying to get information about all freedom fighters] Breaking a man, bit by bit... they said it would get easier with time. It never did. The torture went on for some time. But Bismil didn't break. Both men had made pain their friend. They didn't break. Instead they did something I'd never seen any prisoner do before. I think it was the poetry that

held their souls together as the torture tore their bodies apart. The torture didn't work. So we thought of other ways.

Mr. McHeneley: How can this be your will? Tell me.
[shouting]
