"Mr President, on a point of order, I will speak about another catastrophe. Operating at world level, the United Nations' Committee against Torture publishes its findings every four years and makes recommendations to the signatory states. Until now the Spanish Kingdom has not passed this test. The Spanish report for the period 1997-2001 does not give guarantees concerning the
detention or solitary confinement that can lead to ill-treatment and torture, which is commonplace in cases relating to the Basque country. More than this, the end result of instances of torture in Spain has been a pardon for torturers.
The Spanish delegation of the Ministry of the Interior has all the same concluded, and I quote: 'that the number of pardons was not comparable with the number of criminal proceedings involving police officers for offences against human rights' and there was no policy for granting pardons, such a process being 'not automatic' in the words of the delegation.
Tomorrow afternoon the report on Spain will be issued at 3 p.m. Could the Conference of Presidents of political groups take a look at it please?"@en1
