The Police recalls the deaths in Pasaia Bay in Azpeitia and the main event will be held on Saturday
- This Tuesday is 38 years since the Police killed four members of Anti-Capitalist Autonomous Commands in Pasaia Bay (Gipuzkoa). On the occasion of the ephemeris, in Azpeitia the deceased have been recalled, but the main event has been kept for Saturday. It will be held in Azpeitia, from 19:00 pm, in the Market Square.
On 22 March 1984, in Pasaia Bay, they were shot dead by the National Police Pedro Mari Isart, Rafael Delas, José Mari Izura and Dioni Aizpuru, members of the Anti-capitalist Autonomous Command. On the occasion of the 38th anniversary of the massacre, they recalled the deaths at the event organized by the Sarraskia Argitu platform in Pasaia, around the monolith located behind the Casa Torre Enparan. Among others, Peio Aizpuru and Pilar Arbelaitz, brother of the late Dioni Aizpuru, and Arantxa Isarte, sister of Pedro Mari Isart, participated.
However, the central act of tribute has been retained for 26 March. On Saturday they will again remember the deaths in Azpeitia, from 19:00 pm, in the Market Square. Besides the relatives of Isart, delas, Izura and Aizpuru, the bertsolari Jon Maia and the writer Joseba Sarrionandia, among others, will participate in the meeting.
Request for clarification of facts and claims against torture
Alongside the memory, the demands will also be accommodated. "The central demand will be to clarify the Pasaia massacre along with the cry against torture," the organizers of the march announced. For years, the demand to investigate this trap has been on the table, but "despite the testimonies that witnessed the killings and many other evidence, there has not yet been truth, justice, reparation or official recognition of the case. Family and friends continue to work to clarify the case."
On the other hand, as the organizers have stressed, "torture was an essential element in committing the Pasaia massacre". In fact, "Pedro Mari Isarte decided to flee to Iparralde in order not to spend more time on the suffering of torture." And on the other hand, the torture at the Oriotarra Rosa Jimeno allowed the police to organize the Pasaia trap. Jimeno was kidnapped by the National Police on 18 March 1984 in Donostia-San Sebastián, and was tortured until he was quoted as Dionisio Aizpuru.
To Rosa, yes, because that's what home and friends said. On 30 June she will be 29 years old as a result of an infection caused by a pelotazo released 7-8 meters by the Ertzainas. This was evident at the hearing or working session held on 26 January 2023 before the Police Victim... [+]
