Chapter 31:

The High Official

(The Summary of “El Filibusterismo”)

A high official convinces the Governor-General in vain to release Basilio who he believes is innocent.  The Governor-General insists that innocent individuals must suffer in order to restore order and to cow the people into submission.  Because of this disagreement, the high official resigns and goes back to Spain.
