Iqbal is a former Freedom from Torture client from Sri Lanka. Before he came to the UK Iqbal used to paint and was inspired to do so again by seeing snow on the tree leaves while on his way to a therapy session at Freedom from Torture’s North West Centre in Manchester.
“After I was tortured I stopped everything. I forgot everything. I didn’t want to paint again. But when I came to Freedom from Torture, it inspired me. My therapist encouraged me to start painting again. And when I started painting, I thought I need to use my talent to help other people like me. I feel proud and happy that I can do something to repay all of the help I have had. My life is changed now and because of that I want to help.”
