The pack of Manresa: was no abuse violation
The prosecutor took a step back with respect to the opinion of the TS. The mobilization must impose its verdict. A girl 14 years attended a party at an abandoned factory and was raped. The fact participated seven men. A friend took her to one of the abandoned houses and was the first to rape her. Then, He warned the rest "Do you have 15 minutes, It does not delay it touches me ". Two men raped her individually, group four and another "He stared as she masturbated".
The girl did not resist the situation in which he found himself and the beasts "They did not exert violence or intimidation to force". Against this, the Prosecutor considered that there was no abuse and aggression, asking the judges penalties between 10 Y 12 years.,
After the rape, one of the members of the group returned to the party, He pulled out a BB gun and threatened children present there saying: "If anyone of you here say something happening here, You will have problems with your family ".
"We, it's your turn, no tardes "
At the time of this writing, It is developing the Court of Barcelona in which the victim declare with fear of being disbelieved and there is no justice. His lawyers asked prison terms of between 15 Y 20 years.
This case, which it was played by the pack of Manresa in the year 2016, It has two points in common with the case of the pack: male violence and an embarrassing failure. The herd was initially convicted of sexual abuse because the victim did not resist and subsequently the Supreme Court corrected the rape conviction.
The TS increased the severity of the sentence of the pack when considering “environmental intimidation” a sufficient factor to talk about “aggression” And not from “abuse”. further, He mentioned the numerical difference between the aggressor and the victim, inequalities force, the environment in which the facts and degrading treatment. They did not spend even ten days of that ruling and the prosecutor has returned back stating that it was an abuse and not a violation.
…the serious shortcomings of the judicial system be rectified with partial modifications, you have to make substantive changes.
After hearing all the testimony and before judgment stay for judgment, the prosecution has the ability to change your rating. But expect this to happen idly, It is the equivalent of playing "Russian roulette". TS failure was a win mobilization of women's movement, we need to make it happen the same in the case of the pack of Manresa. There are already calls at the gates of the municipalities, we have to make them strong and continue, go on and on, with large mobilizations throughout the Spanish State, until rapists get the punishment they deserve.
If a man about alcohol or drugs, you just have to bear it. But it is a woman, violent macho feel they have the right to rape her, mistreat and decide what to do with your life. It is no coincidence that, in demonstrations, sing it hard "Alone, eraser, I want to go home ".
The Penal Code as it is not used and the serious shortcomings of the judicial system be rectified with partial modifications, you have to make substantive changes. Definitely, It is not yet the last word, you have to twist the arm of insufficient judicial decision and continue fighting for turn around. Patriarchy and capitalism falling together.
