🎥  FILM CLASSROOM Wednesday 18th, 7:30 pm at the Atalaya Club in Cieza.
.
🎞️  THE ALMERÍA CASE, Pedro Costa (1984).
.
A trial that was closed in a sham fashion (among other reasons because eleven Civil Guards participated in the events and only three were tried), which technically ended the possibility of ever knowing the truth about what happened.
.
The sentence proved that "Lieutenant Colonel Castillo and his men tortured the three detainees to death in an abandoned barracks called Casasfuertes and that later, in an attempt to eliminate evidence, they drove their vehicle down an embankment, shot it numerous times, and set it on fire."
.
That was the wax that was still burning, almost seven years after Franco's death and the celebrated Transition was about to end.
.
We didn't learn until 1999 that the three men convicted—of homicide, not murder—had been expelled from the Civil Guard, but had been paid for years from the reserve funds. And until January 2023, their families had not been apologized to.

Free admission, until full capacity is reached.
