E/CN.4/1994/31 page 103 of the forces which took part in the arrest were requested to make statements before Magistrate No. 8. No charges had, however, been brought against any particular agent. The contents of the medical reports were not known. 487. On the other hand, the Government also provided the Special Rapporteur with a copy of a report sent to Magistrate No. 8 by the Chief Attorney of Bilbao indicating the circumstances in which Mr. Urra was arrested. The report also indicated that representatives of judicial authorities who visited Mr. Urra at the Basurto hospital on 30 January 1992 found that he was in a situation of total disorientation and that he bore multiple injuries and bruises of recent origin. A few hours later a nurse who was urgently called to Mr. Urra’s room, found there two men who identified themselves as members of the Civil Guard and saw that the detainee had blood in his mouth. He was subsequently examined by a forensic physician who also found multiple injuries and bruises. When asked about their origin the detainee gave a full account of the treatment to which he had been subjected, including beatings, suffocation and death threats. He indicated that the ill-treatment had continued at the hospital. A copy of the medical report containing all the details of Mr. Urra’s state of health was also provided by the Government. 488.
