Survivors and relatives of those killed were shocked by what many saw as the lenient sentences handed down in the Madrid bombing trial.
Clara Escribano, who was traveling to work on the morning of March 11, 2004, when a bomb exploded on her train, said the verdict was a "great disappointment."
The 49-year old paediatric nurse underwent three operations and is deaf in one ear.
"I don't have the words to explain how I feel," she said.
Still unable to even walk past the station, she said she found it hard to believe that only Jamal Zougam and Othman el-Gnaoui were found guilty of carrying out the attacks.
"As the verdicts were read out, my stomach began to churn, and my heart beat faster," said Escribano, from the working class district of Santa Eugenia in Madrid.
"The worst moment was when Carmen Toros [the wife of Emilio Trashorras] was found not guilty. Her little smile ... it was a moment of great disappointment for the victims in the courtroom. I cannot believe that these other people will be out in the street in two days ... we have to accept the court's verdicts but at the moment I am feeling very bad," she said.
Angeles Pedraza, who lost her 25-year-old daughter in the train bombings, said that she still had not been able to take in all of the judgments, and "refused to accept" they are right. Pedraza had been hoping to find some kind of closure in the verdict, but said: "It all happened so quickly that I couldn't understand everything -- I couldn't hear some of the names being read out. Tonight I will have to sit down and have a think and tomorrow we shall carry on the fight."
Victims' associations have already stated that they intend to appeal against the sentences at the supreme court.
‘GREAT OPPRTUNITY’: The Paraguayan president made the remarks following Donald Trump’s tapping of several figures with deep Latin America expertise for his Cabinet Paraguay President Santiago Pena called US president-elect Donald Trump’s incoming foreign policy team a “dream come true” as his nation stands to become more relevant in the next US administration. “It’s a great opportunity for us to advance very, very fast in the bilateral agenda on trade, security, rule of law and make Paraguay a much closer ally” to the US, Pena said in an interview in Washington ahead of Trump’s inauguration today. “One of the biggest challenges for Paraguay was that image of an island surrounded by land, a country that was isolated and not many people know about it,”
‘FIGHT TO THE END’: Attacking a court is ‘unprecedented’ in South Korea and those involved would likely face jail time, a South Korean political pundit said Supporters of impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol yesterday stormed a Seoul court after a judge extended the impeached leader’s detention over his ill-fated attempt to impose martial law. Tens of thousands of people had gathered outside the Seoul Western District Court on Saturday in a show of support for Yoon, who became South Korea’s first sitting head of state to be arrested in a dawn raid last week. After the court extended his detention on Saturday, the president’s supporters smashed windows and doors as they rushed inside the building. Hundreds of police officers charged into the court, arresting dozens and denouncing an
‘DISCRIMINATION’: The US Office of Personnel Management ordered that public DEI-focused Web pages be taken down, while training and contracts were canceled US President Donald Trump’s administration on Tuesday moved to end affirmative action in federal contracting and directed that all federal diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) staff be put on paid leave and eventually be laid off. The moves follow an executive order Trump signed on his first day ordering a sweeping dismantling of the federal government’s diversity and inclusion programs. Trump has called the programs “discrimination” and called to restore “merit-based” hiring. The executive order on affirmative action revokes an order issued by former US president Lyndon Johnson, and curtails DEI programs by federal contractors and grant recipients. It is using one of the
One of Japan’s biggest pop stars and best-known TV hosts, Masahiro Nakai, yesterday announced his retirement over sexual misconduct allegations, reports said, in the latest scandal to rock Japan’s entertainment industry. Nakai’s announcement came after now-defunct boy band empire Johnny & Associates admitted in 2023 that its late founder, Johnny Kitagawa, for decades sexually assaulted teenage boys and young men.
