The UN Committee against Torture will investigate the Spanish State for the seventh time. They met in Geneva, Switzerland, on Thursday and Friday to investigate whether or not it meets the agreed conditions and measures in this area.
The Centre for Human Rights, the Egia Zor and Sare Foundation have produced a report which contains two main points: the lack of recognition and recognition of victims and the barriers imposed on the freedom of political prisoners. In addition, the assessment of the Iñigo Cabacas case is discussed. That report will be submitted to that meeting, which will be reported by Naiz.

The report explains that since 2015 there have been no cases of torture, but that in total the governments of Lakua and Pamplona have collected 5,379 cases. They denounce that recognition, justice and guarantees are not respected so that they do not happen again, because the police have not taken over. In addition, they note that they have acted “with total impunity”, in many cases with office increases. They therefore stress that “there is no guarantee” that it will not happen again.
