As stated above, human rights have been systematically violated for the forces that should protect them. In the case dealt with in the movie In The Name Of The Father, the four of Guildford were four innocent persons sentenced to more than fifteen years of imprisonment for a supposed collaboration with the IRA (Irish Republican Army), just for the fact that they were Irish.

In the book Amor y Anarquia /< “Love and Anarchy”>, we have the case of Soledad Rosas, an Argentine anarchist who lives in Italy, with a little group of anarchists. One year after living with them, the police plant microphones in her boyfriend’s car, and after a while, they arrest them and they are charged with conspiracy. The charges are based on fake evidence.

Soledad’s friends commit suicide in prison, and Soledad kills herself after spending years in house confinement.
