-
Téllez Luna nació en 1945 en un pequeño pueblo de Extremadura, pero creció en Andalucía. De niño trabajaba en una granja, pero de adolescente se mudó a Barcelona para reunirse con sus hermanos. Más tarde se instaló en la localidad en rápida expansión de Santa Coloma de Gramenet. Su padre, comunista, luchó del lado republicano durante la Guerra Civil. Cuenta algo de sus actividades clandestinas con las Comisiones Obreras, incluyendo comentarios generales sobre la organización de células políticas clandestinas, la impresión y distribución de propaganda y las actividades del PSOE. Téllez fue brutalmente torturado tras ser detenido por su participación en una huelga de trabajadores a finales de 1975, tras la muerte de Franco. Su caso es notable como ejemplo de la brutalidad de la represión política incluso durante la administración de transición inmediatamente posterior a Franco bajo Carlos Arias Navarro y Manuel Fraga.
Téllez Luna was born in 1945 in a small town in Extremadura, but he grew up in Andalucia. As a boy he worked on a farm, but moved to Barcelona as a teenager to join his siblings. Later he settled in the rapidly expanding town of Santa Coloma de Gramenet. His father had been a communist who fought on the Republican side during the Civil War. He gives an account of his underground activities with the Comisiones Obreras, including general comments on the organization of underground political cells, propaganda printing and distribution and PSOE activities. Téllez was brutally tortured after being detained for his involvement in a worker's strike in late 1975, after Franco's death. His case is notable as an example of the brutality of political repression even during the immediate post-Franco transition administration under Carlos Arias Navarro and Manuel Fraga
