"Madam President, I want to mention the publication of a very important report a fortnight ago from the European Committee for the prevention of torture and inhuman and degrading treatment. The report is to the Spanish Government on the visit to Spain by the European Committee at the end of 1998.
The report is accessible via the Internet, as is the Spanish Government’s response. A week ago, a Spanish Court sentenced five former government officials, including a Civil Guard general, to up to 71 years in prison. The sentences ended the second so-called “dirty war” trial and added weight to allegations that a dirty war, sponsored by the former Socialist government of Filipe González, was waged in the early 1980s.
According to the international agencies, Associated Press and Reuters, two youngsters of 20 and 21 years of age were driven across the border into the Spanish Basque area where they were tortured for several days. They were both killed by a gunshot to the head. All seven defendants were absolved of charges of torture and belonging to an armed group. The sister of one of the victims told reporters that it was shameful that they were not convicted of torture. It is important to know about this matter."@en1
