The Network of Tortured Persons of the Basque Country has today called on the Basque and Navarre Governments for a new law to "officially and collectively recognize" the victims of state violence in Hego Euskal Herria. 

The group, which has held its Second National Assembly of the network in Eibar (Gipuzkoa), has defended to the 500 people gathered at the event that "it is time toacknowledge that the security forces of the Spanish state have systematically tortured  ".

The spokesmen Leire Gallastegi and Mertxe Gonzalez Portillo have pointed out that "more than 5,000 caseshave been documented in the Basque Country through various investigations to which official mechanisms of recognition and reparation must be offered "and have warned that this recognition" is the basic starting pointfor building a democratic coexistence da ".



The network has therefore called on the Basque Government to renew the Basque Law on the Recognition of Victims of State Violence, "promoting the political initiatives and consensus necessary to extend the period and ensure a comprehensive mechanism for recognition and reparation".

Theyask the Navarre Government to acknowledge that "beyond Francoism and the Transition, torture was also applied to hundreds of citizens." In this regard, they ask it to "assume its responsibilities."
