106. NAMORA, José Pedro. A dor da crianças não mente: processo Casa Pia. Lisbon: Bertrand, 2005. 8°, orig. illus. wrps. 233 pp. ISBN: 972-25-1418-0. $25.00

The author, born in Lisbon, 1964, was a live-in student at the Casa Pia de Lisboa from 1971 to 1981. In November 2002 he publicly denounced a ring of pedophiles systematically abusing children interned in that venerable institution. This led to the arrest of a prominent politician, a leading television personality, and diplomat, among others, most of whom are now free.
