Description
Testimony given to the Rome session of the Russell Tribunal
“This pamphlet features a small part of the testimony which was given to the Second Russell Tribunal on repression in Brazil and Latin America, which held its
first session in Rome during April 1974. The session was opened by E. Biocca, who delivered a detailed and harrowing account of the systematic use of torture by a number of South American governments. Mr. Biocca analysed the implications of this savage development and his report is referred to by a number of witnesses, whose statements are featured below. There were more than a dozen of these, all of whom described the circumstances of their arrest and torture, and all of them were exceptional in securing their eventual release.”
