Last October, Elhadji Ndiaye, a young Senegalese who died in a police station in Pamplona/Iruña. In the multitudinous post-death manifestation, after a violent arrest, the cries of "Black Lives Matter, Life is the greatest" and "A lot of police, little justice" were heard. The book by Ángela Davis begins in Basque with a photo of that act.
It could also have begun with social mobilization to release the seriously ill prisoner Oier Gómez.
