- The letter, written in Switzerland and read in the concentration that took place in Asteasu, on 20 November at night.
Iepa to all the friends and solidary people of the house!
On 24 November 1999, I left Soto del Real prison on bail. Twenty years later, on the same date, I can be in a prison in Switzerland ...
A few days ago I was confirmed that there was a new request for extradition on the table in Bern. Stamp, same as in 2016: Spanish torturing state. Once again, the new indictment (without concrete action) focuses on the statements under torture made at the police station of the Madrid Civil Guard during the period of incommunicado detention. Political persecution against my ideas continues, hunting against me has opened up ...
Then the torturers made my body of woman a battlefield and now they persecute me because I denounce and fight against the sexist torture I have experienced.
Once again, they will stop me for fighting the violence of the Spanish State and the patriarchy! Despite the change of governments, presidents and ministers over the last twenty years, the whole repressive apparatus is still in place. And the National Audience, the heir of Franco, remains the tip of the arrow of that repression. The sexist system and patriarchal justice want to give me experience of my feminist struggle!
We shall see where the 'neutral' Swiss authorities stand on this occasion, against or in favour of torture! Because we cannot continue to cooperate with the torturers in the name of 'neutrality' as it has been so far...
You have been by my side all these years and that gives me strength to keep fighting for our freedom!
A feminist and revolutionary hug!
