E/CN.4/1990/17 page 21 Greece 66. On 15 February 1989 the Government of Greece addressed a letter to the Special Rapporteur regarding a case transmitted to it on 28 July 1988 (see E/CN.4/1989/15, para. 38). The Government affirmed that the person concerned had been arrested in connection with drug dealing. On 9 October 1987 he alleged to the magistrate in charge of the investigation that he had been maltreated, and on 10 October 1987 he brought a lawsuit against the police charging that he had been tortured while in custody. Based on that lawsuit, the public prosecutor of Herakleion pressed criminal charges against an unknown party. Thereafter the police initiated an official administrative investigation, which had not yet been concluded. 67. On 14 November 1989 the Special Rapporteur addressed a letter to the Government of Greece transmitting information concerning the case of Yannis Bouranis, a 24-year-old car mechanic, who was allegedly punched, beaten with a truncheon and given electric shocks to the genitals during the course of a five-hour interrogation at Thessaloniki central police station on 14 August 1988. The information further indicated that a medical examination which took place on 16 August 1988 and the subsequent report certified that Bouranis had wounds all over his body, particularly bruises on his legs and scratches on his back. It was also reported that on 24 August 1988, Public Prosecutor Athanassios Smirlis had ordered an inquiry into these allegations. No reports have been received regarding the results of any such inquiry. 68. On 8 December 1989 the Permanent Mission of Greece to the United Nations Office at Geneva informed the Special Rapporteur that Mr. Bouranis had been arrested by the Thessaloniki police on 14 August 1988 in flagrante delicto and condemned to five months' imprisonment for burglary. After receiving the allegations sent by the Special Rapporteur, the police had initiated an official inquiry, which included, among other thing6, a medical examination of Mr. Bouranis, but no clear evidence of maltreatment was established. As a result the court had decided not to press charges against the policemen in question. Guatemala 69. On 26 April 1989 the Special Rapporteur sent an urgent message to the Government of Guatemala about the case of Juan Carlos Tejeda Tortola, aged 32, a former member of the Association of University Students, sentenced in 1983 to 35 years' imprisonment. According to the information received, Mr. Tejeda Tortola who is in the Granja Penal in Pavon is reportedly being tortured, not given sufficient food and only allowed to see his family for 10 minutes once a week. Approximately 100 other prisoners in the same gaol where, apparently, there is neither light nor water, are in the same situation. 70. On 9 June 1989 the Government of Guatemala informed the Special Rapporteur that the investigations conducted by the appropriate authorities (the Deputy-Minister of the Interior, the Directorate-General of the Prison System and the Administration of the Granja Penal in Pavon) established that after the events of Sunday 26 March, the prison in Pavon was occupied by forces of the National Police for security reasons and that the Deputy Director subsequently assumed control. He confirmed that Mr. Juan Carlos Tejeda Tortola has not been subjected to any ill-treatment, and still less to harassment which might undermine his physical integrity.
