Aurora Rosa Salvador Rodrigues (born 20 January 1952) is a Portuguese retired magistrate of the Public Prosecution Service. Rodrigues studied law at the University of Lisbon. After she attended a student demonstration, the Polícia Internacional e de Defesa do Estado (PIDE) arrested her. The PIDE deprived Rodrigues of sleep for over two weeks to induce hallucinations, among other forms of torture.[1] She was never formally charged and was released after three months. Rodrigues graduated and became a magistrate and president of the Evorian section of the Sindicato dos Magistrados (Prosecutors' Union). After retiring, she wrote an account of her experiences with the Estado Novo.[2]
