"Mr President, next week Mr Theo van Boven, the special rapporteur of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights on the question of torture, who is known for his great independence and integrity, will present his report to the United Nations in Geneva, fulfilling the mandate conferred on him.
In its conclusions the report states that action against torture in Spain is no less of a pressing need today than it used to be in the past. One illustration of that was given last week when three indicted young Basques accused of transporting explosives complained of continuous torture and ill-treatment during their five days held incommunicado in the Guardia Civil headquarters.
Mr van Boven said at last week's press conference that incommunicado detention 'not only creates the conditions for torture to take place', the measure itself can constitute 'cruel, merciless treatment'."@en1
