Abstract
'I told you yesterday that I know nothing about this July 10 Movement and that is the truth,' Chipota responded with a lump in his throat. 'If you want me to manufacture lies, I have no intention of doing so. I am being honest with you and you had better believe me.'
'Of course we don't expect you to tell us what we want to know without some persuasion. It happens that people who have taken the July 10 Movement oath are normally not willing to talk. The oath has a habit of terrorising people into silence. We have met others like you and we can assure you that the effects of the oath wear out quickly once they have been in this place for some time. You will soon forget that the oath you took was supposed to make you silent on everything about dissidents when we really get at you.'
