Taking advantage of the disappearance of the recordings of the case of Silvia, which was beaten by the Ertzainas, the Basque Government requests the annulment of the trial
- SOS Racism Bizkaia calls for justice and reparation to the victim to investigate the disappearance of the recordings to the last consequences.
On 30 November, the Bizkaia Provincial Court sentenced an Ertzaina to six months in jail for several fists in police custody to a racialized woman named Silvia.La, sentencing the agent for “mistreatment” due to the acceptance in trial of the Istanbul protocol and the detailed reports of forensics who proved physical and psychological injuries.
There were also "decisive" recordings in this process that have now disappeared from the archives of the Tribunal in Bizkaia.
