Work is resumed to exhume more victims from the Francoist prison in Orduña
- The works began on Monday and the bodies of 20 new victims of Franco have been recovered, according to the Basque Department of the Interior. The third campaign for the exhumation of human remains will be extended until the weekend and is expected to be extended.
In the cemetery of Orduña, the members of the Society of Sciences Aranzadi meet again to continue the excavations started in 2014. In recent years, 71 corpses have been recovered and ten of the deaths have been identified as a result of DNA samples.
The campaign, which started on Monday, is the third run by the Society of Aranzadi Sciences with the objective of exhuming the bodies that had already been localized. In particular, they are the corpses that are under the undemolished niches in 2022 and will recover in the coming days. The City Hall has recently removed the niches, which has allowed the members of Aranzadi to start searching for the corpses.
"The main objective of this campaign is to locate, recover and identify the mortal remains of these victims, dignify their memory and provide answers to their families," the City of Orduña said in a press release.
Bone identification
The bodies buried in the Orduña cemetery are those of prisoners who died in the Francoist prison of Orduña between 1939 and 1941. The Instituto Gogora and the Sociedad de Ciencias Aranzadi, in collaboration with the City Council of Orduña, aim to identify bone remains and make them available to family members.
Along this road, the Gogora Institute has collected DNA samples from over 60 incarcerated prisoners, and some comparisons have already yielded good results. In total, they have managed to identify ten victims, the last in September last year: Ramón Torres Donosoro.
The victims identified so far are the following:
- Fructuoso Llorens Tolosano, from Fuente de Maestro, Badajoz.
- Manuel y Salvador Del amo Jiménez, hermanos, de Villagonzalo (Badajoz)
- Alejandro Gómez Hidalgo, de Carpio de Tajo (Toledo)
- Alfonso Tena Prieto de Don Álvaro, de Badajoz
- Domingo Galindo González, born in La Morera, in Badajoz
- Inocencio Gallardo Rebolledo, de Magacela, Badajoz
- Bernardo Rodríguez Rincón, de Campanario, Badajoz
- Francisco de la Cruz Orellana, de Quintana de la Serena, Badajoz
- Ramón Torres Donosoro
