 This press release is to inform you that, 18th December, 2003, the Asociación Afectados de Polio y Síndrome Post-Polio (Post-Polio Syndrome and Polio Affected Association) has filed a criminal complaint before the Criminal Tribunal of the Plaza de Castilla in Madrid regarding felony for intentional injury that brings about a serious illness and/or any other illness that may appear througout the investigation.

The Spanish Administration (the Ministry of Health, among others), although knew about the existence of the Post-Polio Syndrome - PPS, kept silence about its existance, voluntarily, fully aware of the irreparable fisical and psychological damages, which would be caused to all Polio and Post-Polio Syndrome patients.

Its conduct was to deliberatly omit to divulge the existance of the Post-Polio Syndrome, councioussly allowing that all the people suffering it, people who are suffering it now and peopole who will suffer it in the future, suffered from terrible injuries.
