Esmeralda weigert overlevende martelingen op SAIL
Een overlevende van de martelingen op het Chileense zeilschip Esmeralda is woensdagavond de toegang tot de boot geweigerd. De Braziliaan Maeth Boff (69), die bij toeval in Nederland was, wilde het schip voor het eerst sinds hij er in 1973 werd gemarteld, betreden om de confrontatie met het verleden aan te gaan. Ondanks een afspraak met de organisatie van Sail, die had toegezegd dat de viermaster 's avonds toegankelijk zou zijn, weigerde de kapitein de man.
