On July 1 a young woman died in Burgos run over by a train in one of the railroad crossings in the center of the city. The neighbors got organized and for several days blocked railroad and other traffic. For four days there were confrontations with the police in different neighborhoods. Some streets were blocked with fire barricades and there were molotov cocktails. Damages reached 3 million ptas.
Turkish prisons are in alarming conditions.
The police repressed gatherings outside. Nine prisoners have died during the hunger strike. Mothers say that their sons have died while under arrest. In June five police agents from the Central Brigade of the foreigner's group and urban delincuency have been accused of belonging to a police mafia active in Zaragoza.
