P104 - Torture victims, what are they asking from the administration?

• In Event: Poster Session & Ice Cream Social

Abstract

The research carried out by the Basque Institute of Criminology in recent years in Navarra - a region located in northern Spain- (2017, 2022 and 2023) has aimed to know and understand the real dimensions of the phenomenon of torture in the context of politically motivated violence. These reports, which have been financed by the Government of Navarra, make it possible to provide accurate data on the incidence of these practices in the population of Navarra, as well as to guide the relevant recognition and prevention measures.
The sum of the data obtained and recorded in our database presents us with a universe that, from a quantitative point of view, yields a final figure of 1,083 cases out of 919 people affected for the period 1960-2015. The team has collected the testimony of 172 people. One of the questions asked to the victims was how would you like the State to respond to your case?
The objective of the project we are carrying out this year (2024) is to analyze the response of these people and transfer it to the administration.
