The UN warns the UN narrator not to denounce Spain for torture

  • Nekane Txapartegi, in an interview with Nils Melzer, the Special Rapporteur on torture at the UN, reported torture: “The high authorities told me: ‘We cannot publicly denounce that the Spaniards torture, because Madrid is an important partner for us in the European Union’s negotiations’. Naiz has published the news.

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

Melzer was interviewed in the Swiss newspaper Die Ziet, where he reported that Nekane Txapartegi, a resident of Switzerland, opposed the request for extradition to Spain, as he "wanted to be extradited for the recognition obtained by torture." They then warned him that the high authorities could not accuse Spain of torture.

Melzer said that the rule of law was being violated by political and economic interests.

In 2009, Txapartegi was sentenced to six years and nine months in prison under Macrosumario 18/98. At the trial, the Civil Guard, for its part, reported that she had been violently tortured. To read more about the subject, enter the Nekane Txapartegi channel of ARGIA.
