Twenty years have passed since the young Sara Fernandez visited a friend who was a prisoner and the platform “Sara gogoan” will perform on November 28 at 19:00 in the Theatre School of Navarra the act of demonstration and memory to ask for her “recognition and reparation”. Twenty people in memory of Sara at a press conference with red carnations announced this Wednesday. The platform points out that steps must be taken to make the family member of political prisoners and their family “officially recognized” and calls on the main Navarre institutions to “organize the necessary mechanisms”.

Platform spokesman Asier García recalls that “the removal and systematic dispersion of Basque prisoners” has been maintained for 35 years, which has meant an “exodus of relatives and relatives”. He adds that, despite the fact that the dispersion has ended today, Sara and the other victims affected by this dispersion have not been granted “corresponding official recognition”.

García has highlighted the adherence of more than twenty political, social, historical and cultural agents of the Casco Viejo de Navarra to this initiative. Among them are Matalaz, the Youth Movement of the Old Town AZGM, Haritu, Zabaldi, Zaldiko and Egia Zor.

For a 40-minute visit, they had to travel 410 kilometers and if not 410 to return. They emphasized that this was an “avoidable death.”
