| Lt. Luis Gonzalo Segura |
The case of
novel-writing Lieutenant Luis Gonzalo Segura continues to attract attention in Spain. Example include
this essay by Miguel González in
El País and
this interview with
El Diario Militar, in which Lt. Segura argues that "Spain cannot afford to ignore the urgent need to reform its armed forces." Even if you rely on computer-based translation, these articles are worth reading. His case,
which goes to trial on Friday, June 13, tests the limits of free expression by military personnel. If he is punished, watch for proceedings in the
European Court of Human Rights.
