Kepa Crespo died after three months of hunger strike, prisoner of the Communist Party of Spain

43
years ago

19 June 1981,

Juan José Crespo Galende “Kepa”, a Basque prisoner of the Communist Party, died on hunger strike in Herrera de la Mancha prison.

The fasting he started to denounce the prison conditions of political prisoners led him to the end, remaining for 97 days.

When he was arrested in 1979, Billy the Child and the others brutally tortured, and the photograph that they filtered to the media became another example of his impunity, where Crespo's face could be seen completely beaten.
