Abstract
On May 9, 1976, I arrived at Vesubio, a clandestine detention center at Camino de Cintura and Richieri highway (Mantanza Department). Four individuals following Suarez Mason’s orders got me out of a Ford Falcon. I was hooded and my hands were tied behind my back. Meanwhile, the four individuals insulted me and hit me, forcing me into a room. Once inside, they made me stand against a wall with my legs extended. Several torturers kicked me in the testicles again and again. This procedure was called ablande. It was intended to intimidate the prisoner before taking him/her into the torture room.
