"The conditions for the execution of the tortures remain intact," Ask reports
- On the occasion of the day against torture, the organization Libre held a press conference at the Palacio de Justicia in Bilbao. It has been alleged that the conditions under which torture is practised still persist today.
The anti-repressive organization that is part of the Action Coordinator has started the press conference by defining what torture is: it is given when a "public official" or "public official" "organizedly and systematically" inflicts "severe physical and psychological suffering" on another person.
Thus, Ask denounces that it is the “political weapon” that the “oppressive class uses to destroy any revolutionary organization.” In addition, they emphasize that "if the conditions for the re-execution of torture continue", the latest "progress" related to the confessions of torture is of no use".
The day was also dedicated to remembering. They commemorate the militants of Fernando Grande Marlaska "under torture", as well as those who have been "in the fingers" of the rest of the "dominated" and "undomesticated" police.
They also mention the infiltration that has been made public in recent months, calling it a "method" used by the state to "destroy any political organization." Similar cases have also been reported in the Basque Country through "offers of collaboration" or "police follow-ups" of 24 hours.
The press conference ends with the statement that "repressive ramparts must be denounced and their disappearance declared" that are still in force. While reaffirming that "the struggle for Amistia implies the overthrow of the oppression of the Basque Working People".
