Forensic scientists will on Monday begin the exhumation of 128 victims of the Spanish Civil War from a vast burial complex near Madrid, El Pais newspaper reported.
It will be the first exhumation of its kind involving people whose bodies were moved from elsewhere after the 1936-1939 war and reburied without their families' permission in the Valley of Cuelgamuros, which was formerly known as Valley of the Fallen.
The remains of some 34,000 people, many of them victims of Franco's regime, are buried anonymously in the complex. Relatives of those whose remains lie inside have been fighting for years to give their loved ones a burial under their own names near their families. "I have not been told anything about this," she told Reuters by telephone. In 2016, a court approved the exhumation of the brothers, but seven years later the family is still waiting.
