A total of 79 years in prison for confrontation with two civil guards
On October 15, 2016, at 5:00 a.m. in the morning of the local fair, as a result of a confrontation between two civil guards dressed in streets in a local bar, their partners and a group of Altsasuans, one of the agents ended up with a wounded faucet on one side and seven young people imprisoned on the other side. Each was sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison.
The case caused great outrage and, moved by the relatives and friends of the detainees, they have carried out a constant campaign to demand justice. 20,000 people were recruited shortly after the arrests. After a year and a half, on April 14, more than 50,000 people collapsed in central Pamplona under the slogan “it is not terrorism, justice”.
The eight young people have been charged by the Spanish National Court with the crimes of “damage, public disorder and threats” and “abuse of authority”.
The case has garnered a lot of media coverage, and among others the Guardian, Al Jazeera and the New York Times have written about it.
