  • Several Getxo associations have denounced that a woman of Bolivian origin suffered the racist attack by the Ertzaintza, that the woman ' s complaint was contested by the Ertzainas, and that the Government, accused of an attack on the authority, is now demanding seven years ' imprisonment against women.

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

According to the note released by SOS Racism, in May 2018, the racist Silvia intervened in her defense against the presence of a Police vagabond at the gates of a supermarket. The Ertzaintza took him to the police station and there he “attacked violently,” “punched him.” After the woman’s complaint, the agents placed the opposition, but the incident is recorded on video and “the Ertzainas have had to step back in their story,” says SOS. Police action is disproportionate to the judicial car.

However, the Basque Government has demanded a seven-year prison sentence for Silvia, charged with “attack on resistance and authority.” In the words of SOS Racism, the government’s excessive denunciation can be interpreted as a punishment against Silvia for “reporting police torture.” In addition, SOS criticizes the refusal of Silvia to submit the expert report of the Istanbul Protocol to investigate torture for lack of records of the “serious” investigation.

Judgments and mobilisations

In view of the holding of the trial against Silvia, which will take place on 4 and 5 October, various associations and political parties in the locality have launched a campaign to support the neighbor of Getxo and to “end racist police interventions”: Bilgune Feminist de Algorta, Haziak, Women with Voice, Ongi Etorri Refugees, SOS Racism Bizkaia, EH

On October 3, a demonstration was held in Rome at 19:00 from Plaza Santa Eugenia. Trial days will also be held on the Bilbao judicial portal at 9:45 hours.

EH Bildu and Elkarrekin We will present a joint motion at the municipal plenary of 28 September, to denounce the case and show solidarity with Silvia.
