Next Tuesday, June 25, at 7:30 p.m., at the Museum of the Roman Theater, Cartagena Piensa is screening the documentary 'Sentenciados sin juicio' (Spain, 2003), in collaboration with the Galáctyco collective.
An activity framed within the celebrations of the EnorgulleCT 2019, under the motto 'Elderly without lockers: History, struggle, memory!'.
The screening will be attended by Antoni Ruiz, reprisal of the Franco dictatorship and founder of the Association Ex-Social Prisoners, which will present the documentary and one of the protagonists of it.
'Sentenced without trial', directed by Eliseu Blay, is a documentary that goes back to the seventies, when almost 50,000 people, some 4,000 homosexuals - to whom electric currents were applied - were imprisoned in Spain without the right to a lawyer , without having committed a crime and without trial submitted to the Law of Hazard and Social Rehabilitation.
The Spanish prisons were, like that of Huelva, they were rather concentration camps.
There they were tortured, harassed, raped and despised, with the approval of the prison authorities.
One of these persecuted, Antonio Ruiz, discovered in 1995 that his file was still valid, and around his testimony turns the story.
Ruiz, only 17 years old, confessed his condition to his mother, who entrusted it to a friendly nun, who believed he had helped him by denouncing him to the criminal brigade.
This splendid documentary is the best tribute to those victims of the Spanish National Catholic society, which condemned them to ostracism for the simple fact of being and loving in a different way.
To complete the forum, the attendance is free and has no cost.
