JUST months before the death of Spanish dictator Francisco Franco in 1975, Julio Pacheco Yepes says he was arrested and tortured by police for belonging to a left-wing underground movement that opposed the regime.
Now, nearly five decades on, Pacheco Yepes has become the first victim of the Franco dictatorship to testify before a Spanish judge investigating allegations of torture.
