Spain: Spain : OMCT condemns the bombings perpetrated in Madrid

PRESS RELEASE


Geneva, 12 March 2004

Spain : the World Organisation against Torture (OMCT) condemns the bombings perpetrated in Madrid

OMCT firmly condemns the terrible bombings perpetrated in Madrid on March 11, 2004, that took the lives of more than 190 innocent civilians and injured many more. The perpetrators of these crimes must be arrested and brought to justice, in accordance with international human rights standards.

According to OMCT’s Director, Eric Sottas, “ these barbaric acts tarnish the cause which they claim to serve, from the moment they stop respecting the fundamental protection of the right to life, a value proclaimed by every international convention, as well as by national laws and all religions. It is unacceptable to take the lives of civilians as a means of pressure.”

OMCT expresses its condolences to the victims of the bombings and their families.
