Just after the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), a Military Court sentenced some young women to death for a crime they had not committed. Arrested a month after the end of the war, they suffered harsh interrogations and were imprisoned in the Madrid Ventas prison. They thought they would only spend a few years in prison, but they were accused of the crime of rebellion against the Regime for reorganizing the JSU (United Youth Socialists) and for organizing an attack against Franco. They were shot in the early morning of August 5, 1939. (FILMAFFINITY)
