Iconic Irish faces have allowed themselves to be 'beaten up' for an exhibition by Amnesty International.
The event can be seen at the Electric Picnic festival over the weekend in Stradbally, Co Laois.
The Amnesty International tent at Mindfield will feature the exhibition, where famous faces will appear battered and bruised by the physical signs of torture - with a quote from each to explain how torturing a person can 'make them say anything.'
Along with Newstalk's George Hook, others to be featured include 'Game of Thrones' actor Aidan Gillen, football legend John Giles, former government minister Mary O'Rourke, drag queen Panti Bliss and 'Love/Hate' actor Peter Coonan.

Amnesty will also host a panel - which includes Newstalk's Shona Murray - to discuss the issue.
'From Gaza to Guantánamo' will explore how those who commit war crimes and human rights abuses often do so by using false justifications on the grounds of 'state security', Amnesty says.
Amnesty executive director Colm O'Gorman said "Torture by definition takes place in the shadows. We are pleased to bring this important topic to Electric Picnic festivalgoers with names and faces they know acting as Stop Torture ambassadors."
"We always get a great response from the Electric Picnic audience to our campaigns, and I am sure this year will be no different. It has become a really important and valuable date in our campaign diary" he added.
