[...] il est recommand\u00e9 que [noms] soient transf\u00e9r\u00e9s \u00e0 la Direction Nationale de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 (DNS) afin de subir un interrogatoire suppl\u00e9mentaire. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"1879611\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le ministre peut-il nous confirmer que cette fa\u00e7on de proc\u00e9der est ni plus ni moins de la sous-traitance de torture?</p>"
