Navarrese journalists condemn that Inquisitorial attack against apurtu.org

Forty journalists from Navarre have signed a joint declaration condemning that attack by the Spanish political tribunal against the website apurtu.org, dedicated to inform critically about abuses in the prison system and under police custody. Abuses that the members of this watchdog group are surely suffering themselves right now as all the incommunication procedures under which torture typically happen have been applied against them by special judge Grande-Marlaska. 

The journalists in press release declared that the goal of this group was to inform, not to make threats, and therefore its closure affects all of us who work in the media in Navarre. The journalists also wonder why these people dedicated to inform and nothing else are being deprived of all procedural guarantees, including habeas corpus.
