12 years-old girl interrogated at school



A teacher interrogated a girl (12 years old at the time) about her parents (independent journalists from the dissidence), about the activities they develop, if they involucrate her in their work or if they talk openly in front of her, asking for explanations on why they have chosen this path and about the visits they receive at home. The teacher also said that early in that week they received a visit of people dressed civil-like in the school asking about the behavior and school results of the girl, also indicating that every Tuesday people from the Ministry of Interior who deal with young people, go to the school. After finalizing the conversation, the teacher asked the girl to keep it private. According to her parents, during a subpoena they attended days before, high-ranking agents of the State Security (SS) threatened them saying that even though the girl have excellent results at school and she could have a brilliant career afterwards they make it clear that the SS could intervene to avoid it at any time.
