translate English to German: Rather than listen to them, though, the authorities are resorting to force, as was also demonstrated by the mistreatment suffered by my colleague, Mr Agnoletto.
Doch anstatt ihnen Gehör zu schenken, wird gewaltsam gegen sie vorgegangen, was auch die Misshandlungen bewiesen, die unser Kollege, Herr Agnoletto, erlitten hat.
