ETA member Josu Mujika, recognized by the Basque government as a victim of human rights violations In one of the reports resulting from the Police Abuse Law, he died or was murdered on July 30, 1975, in a central street in Madrid during an operation to arrest members of a commando in which the intelligence services had an undercover agent.
The Basque Government’s assessment committee has indicated in this case that the conflicting official versions (from the first suicide, through the heart attack, to the confrontation with a gunfight) could not be solved in an investigation that was not independent.
Now the complaint about this has been filed in a Court of Bergara (Gipuzkoa) points to the possible commission of a “crime against humanity”. Democratic Memory Act labeled as ‘inexplicable and not amnestiable’.
In a statement, GE Behatokia also recalled that the aforementioned Valuation Commission in its advice on the Mujika case “the participation of at least two authors: Mikel Lejarza, undercover agent, member of the Center for Advanced Strategic Defense Studies” and police officer.
GE Behatokia emphasizes in its note that this complaint was filed on the eve of compliance 49 years since Mujika’s death“a very long tunnel in which the family never stopped fighting for access to truth, justice and reparation.”
“We believe that the process developed by the Basque Government is a recognition of institutional truth “that comes as a consolation to the existing social truth,” explains this group, which nevertheless also believes that “it is time for criminal law to live up to its name before the victims of very serious violations of human rights attributable to state apparatuses.”
