My husband was having difficulty breathing. His pants were torn as far as o could see. He was barefoot, with his feet swollen and bruised. I began crying, saying that it was his life and they should do nothing for me, and he told me I should think about it and that they had promised him 24 hours for me to think it over and I said no. Then, in the middle of the conversation he told me that they were asking about Argentina, of ties with it of people in our group, with people from other political organizations. There he insisted that I should take my time and I realized that he would not withstand another torture session.
