Torturades
Via Laietana, 43 : vint-i-dues dones, testimonis del terror (1941-2019)
Pasqual i Escrivà, Gemma
"When power is placed beyond the margins of the law, women's bodies become the perfect target for the demonstration of the force, violence and cruelty of the state." The history of the Via Laietana police station is dark and opaque. A history marked by fear, silence and impunity. But today the fear is behind, the silence is beginning to break and impunity is being fought. Because it's now or never: no fear, no silence, no impunity. Over the years and to this day, a large number of accusations of torture and police violence hover over the building leaving a thick shadow, and this book aims to clarify it thanks to the voice of the women. They tell us what they lived there; the physical and emotional sequelae of that trance and how they relate to the memory. They are stories of dignity and justice. Testimonies against oblivion that weave a gripping chronicle of what should never have happened.
