Backstair, Fanpage’s investigative unit, went undercover in the Shalom community, a rehabilitation center run by nuns in the province of Brescia, Italy. The community hosts about 250 residents (including minors) with various problems including drug addiction, food disorders, behavioral disorders. We collected dozens different testimonies from people who spent several years in this community at different times and said they were subjected to abuse and punishments of any kind. So, we went undercover to verify firsthand with one of our journalists by spending several months inside the facility as volunteers. In that period we saw the method developed by the founder of this community, Sister Rosalina Ravasio, with measures combining prayer with baffling therapy methods.
