I was, however, arrested (for the first time) in early 1974 and released after three years -- after the Amnesty International exposed the crimes of torture committed by the Marcos martial law regime against us political prisoners, and we also wrote about and filed legal complaints about those crimes of torture.
Subalit naaresto ako (sa unang pagkakakataon) noong maagang bahagi ng 1974 at pinalaya matapos ang tatlong taon -- matapos ilantad ng Amnesty International ang mga krimen ng pagtortyur ng rehimen ng batas militar ni Marcos laban sa aming mga bilanggong pulitikal, at isinulat at isinampa namin ang mga reklamo sa mga ganitong krimen ng tortyur.
