1:25:01
The plastic bag
was sticking to my mouth
1:25:04
and I couldn't breathe.
1:25:06
You're suffocating,
your face is soaking wet,
1:25:10
you think you're going to die,
and then they take the bag off.
1:25:15
We accept that
some complaints are true
1:25:17
when a sentence confirms it.
1:25:19
They told me what I had to say
in front of the judge.
1:25:23
I had to say
I'd been well treated.
1:25:25
We went over it
time and again.
1:25:27
"We'll put you in a van,
1:25:30
we'll drive you around
and bring you back.
1:25:32
You won't know
if it's a real judge
1:25:35
and if you don't repeat
what we've told you to say
1:25:40
you're finished.
1:25:42
When you're held incommunicado
for 5 days
1:25:44
the police are given
total freedom to act
1:25:47
and to obtain
incriminating statements
1:25:50
which will be the main evidence
for obtaining a sentence.
1:25:54
The use of a video camera
in interrogations
1:25:56
during the incommunicado period
1:25:59
is recommended not only
by Amnesty International
1:26:01
but also by organizations
made up by governments.
1:26:04
I know what I went through,
I know what they did to me,
1:26:08
I know that everything I've said
is true.
1:26:18
Something has to be done.
1:26:20
It has to be said out loud
that people are being tortured here.
1:26:44
The Spanish Government, supported
by PSOE and public opinion,
1:26:48
banned Batasuna
(10% of the Basque vote)
1:26:50
for not condemning
the killings by ETA
1:26:53
The Basque Government
1:26:55
and leading members of
the Basque Socialist Party
1:26:57
opposed the measure,
as did the majority of Basques.
