SIGN IT AND PASS IT
I transcribe and translate the letter that a Spanish civilian association Basta ya has elaborate to protest about an ordinary mistake made by those that only know ETA by hearsay.
Please read the letter, sign it if you think it´s right and pass it!
Mr. Manfred NOVAK, Special Rapporteur on Torture, in his Rapport of 21 March 2006 to the Commission on Human Rights on “Civil and Political Rights, including the Questions of Detention and Torture”, on page 63, paragraph 292, with respect to Spain he labelled the prisoners of ETA, “basque political prisoners ”.
We consider it unacceptable that within the United Nations some remarkable representatives of the Secretary General, like the Special Rapporteur against Torture Mr. NOVAK, ignore the real situation of a State visited by a UN' organ competent on human rights and consequently consider as “political prisoners” persons who are terrorists.

Please click on the link and read the whole letter. Nowadays there is no political prisioners in Spain, we have made possible a democracy where everybody can defend his political views. But Spanish people believe that killing persons to defend a political view is not admissible in a democratic system.
