The San Sebastian City Council has placed a plaque in front of the entrance to the Intxaurrondo Barracks, marking an event in which the San Sebastian neighborhood also commemorated Idoia Aierbe and Jon Arretxe, who were tortured together with Zabalza.
This Saturday in Intxaurrondo, the tribute to Mikel Zabalza, victim of police brutality in 1985 and tortured to death in the Intxaurrondo barracks, began with a minute’s silence.
Right near that barracks, on Baratzategi Street, the San Sebastián City Council placed a plaque in his memory with the text “Mikel Zabalza Garate, Poliziaren ekintzak eragindako biktima, victim by police action”, along with the dates on December 15, 1985 ., the day Zabalza’s body was found handcuffed in the Bidasoa River.
After the unveiling of the plaque, the family of the missing person placed white roses, which preceded a large offering of flowers from citizens.
The family of Mikel Zabalza has expressed its satisfaction with this tribute, assuring that it is “a great step towards memory”.
