FROM THE ARREST TO THE FIRST VISIT

Our inexplicable feeling of impotence begins right from the arrest. When the police burst into our home at night, they left violently everything upside down and take our relative arrested. This image remains long hours in our minds and with no information at all.

PRIVATION OF FREEDOM

After being imprisoned, the policy of dispersal is applied, this means to send those under arrest hundreds of miles away from home, family, affective, social, cultural and political environment, leaving them alone and isolated. Furthermore, they're not only sent to a far jail, but once there, the prisoners are dispersed in different departments.
