"Mr President, further to a statement by Mr Gorostiaga last Monday, I wish to make one point clear. Mr Gorostiaga referred to a report by the United Nations Committee Against Torture, and subsequently sent an e-mail to all Members of the House.
I shall forward the aforementioned committee’s full report to Members of the House so they can read for themselves the positive comments on action taken in Spain in recent years. A number of adjustments have been made to legislation in order to prevent torture.
I should also like to emphasise that in my view it is somewhat surprising that Mr Gorostiaga himself should be condemning torture when he has failed to condemn the sustained attack on human rights we are enduring in the Basque Country. This is particularly true for those of us holding elected office. The most significant torture is actually that perpetrated by ETA terrorists as they murder, blackmail and kidnap."@en1
