The lifeless body of the young man was found on January 17, at 03:00 a.m. According to the autopsy, the young man died of a heroin overdose in the chest. Salhaketa has announced its intention to gather more information and warned that these types of deaths "are not natural deaths".

According to the data of the association, this is the first death in Zaballa prison since 2011. However, they have underlined that these are silent deaths and have denounced that there are more similar cases: “They’re silent deaths, we know there’s more.”

Hala Bedi recalled that until recently prisons had an obligation to report by teletype the deaths that occurred in Spain. Salhaketa reported in a statement that, on the other hand, the prison did not provide any information. The association found it suspicious that some media had not pronounced on the matter and had not pronounced on it.

The members of Salhaketa have reported that they will appreciate the possibility of taking legal and administrative measures and have anticipated that they will ask the Spanish State how many deaths have actually occurred. For the time being, they have asked the Prosecutor’s Office to take steps to investigate what has happened.

They have also indicated that they will advise the family of the deceased youth, who died in the accident. “Families are ill-informed and unprotected,” they explained.
