Franco is dead

Spanish authorities should abide by the United Nations call for an endto its 1977 amnesty law rather than prosecuting a judge seekingaccountability for past abuses, Human Rights Watch said today.

Judge Baltasar Garzón of Spain's National Audience tribunal iscurrently under criminal investigation for looking into 22 allegedcases of illegal detention and forced disappearances involving morethan 100,000 victims, committed between 1936 and 1951. Spanish courtshave routinely closed investigations into abuses committed during thecountry's civil war (1936-1939) and the dictatorship of GeneralFrancisco Franco (1939-1975) by invoking a 1977 amnesty law, whichcovers all crimes "of a political nature" committed prior to December1976. The case against Garzón is based, among other factors, onthe judge arguing that the amnesty law did not apply to crimes againsthumanity.

"Spanish courts have routinely failed to investigate allegations ofhorrendous crimes of the past, but are being surprisingly active inprosecuting a judge who tried to push for accountability," saidJosé Miguel Vivanco, Americas director at Human Rights Watch.

Y como bien muestras, para algunos no lo parece.

Abrazo.

Sea lo que sea que intenten, no tienen donde esconderse, ni cómo, por mucho palo en la rueda que interpongan. Al final, siempre, la justicia llega, aunque para algunos sea tarde sus nombres y lo que les hicieron los perseguirán hasta el fin de los tiempos. Llegará el día.
