"We had finished eating a while ago, we were left with Juan Luis desktop Girolami, Oscar Manzur and I-remembered-wheel, we were finishing dessert, Manzur played guitar. Juan Luis was a friend from childhood and knew Manzur Oscar for a year and a half ago, and I knew it was a companion of the amber list of Health, which provided for elections. Was employed by the British hospital. Juan Luis we grew up together in the same building and we were always friends. I was at that time 19 years. " Rueda
described the scene prior to when the group was kidnapped as he was preparing to lower the building to go to take the bus heading home. "Low and the army was in front of the building," he continued. I do open, they ask me where I come, I say that about my girlfriend. Go upstairs to the apartment, I signed up is down. "
"There were many soldiers, one or two army trucks, a Ford F100 with a machine gun. Upload who identified himself as the Argentine Army and knocks on the door, I hear from below. At that time from the back of the building as a garage, you hear some people who jumped, obviously Manzur Marta Bertolino and Oscar. "
"they can hear screams and artillery into the truck horn to the garage and start shooting. Tiran shots that reason is not because there was no reason to do so. Stop the shots and this couple is, as they had jumped, I see them enter through a little door leading into the garage and connected to the shield of the building. A limping and I see Oscar in his underwear, Marta was not well in the fall, was pregnant with 6 or 8 months. "

Thereafter began the hardest part of the testimony of Rueda. "As soon as we arrived we were blindfolded, hands tied behind us, in my case with a plastic cable. We ask the names and when it notices a Oscar Manzur very high degree of euphoria on the staff of the unit, as if they had made a valuable discovery, but in turn you could see that there was cruelty in the way of celebrating they had. "
"Then I begin to hear the torture Manzur, who had taken him to another room, were piercing screams. I hear what you did to Manzur was not like the rest. I was in an adjoining room, was something tremendous. After listening to the tortured Marta. I sensed the presence of Juan Luis beside me and then left to perceive. It's like we were in a corridor and Marta and Oscar in an adjoining room. "
The witness said he heard Oscar "For hours and both he and Martha Manzur until then did not hear anymore." Rueda then added: "or if there will be dead or have it taken, but not, it seems to me that screams that did, may have died right there."
The survivor also recalled that "all this were coming and there were voices of others tortured, many movements of people." And said: "I would also say that I started to lose track of time, was in a room that had no natural light, he was blindfolded, tied, hands behind the body and not the amount of hours or days, why not let us sleep. That meant the loss of space time, those were the French methods of torture and that they applied to the letter. "
The witness reported, while torturing him, the nickname of "the dumb and blind." Rueda said that "the blind man listened because it was more or less the interrogation he was driving was a more serious voice and everything was expressed imperatively. not how long I was tortured with waterboarding, electric shocks, beatings. also listened to Juan Luis Girolami being tortured, tortured us a while to each one. "
The survivor completed his long testimony recalling further many of the other detainees who were found in other areas of the Information Service, and the Favela and reviewed by the various prisons of the dictatorship which was paraded as the "Round", "Coronda" and "Home ".
