  • ... that a series of military tribunals awarded six controversial death penalties to members of ETA (logo pictured) in December 1970? Source: The military court granted six death sentences .... Under domestic pressure and demands from the Vatican and the international community [...] Franco commuted all death sentences to thirty years in prison. Muro (2013) 105
    • ALT1:... that the harsh verdict of the 1970 Burgos trials sparked interventions from Pope Paul VI and Jean-Paul Sartre? Source: A Vatican spokesman disclosed tonight that Pope Paul VI had made personal appeal to General Franco urging that the lives of the six condemned Basques be spared. The spokesman, Federico Alessandrini, said the Vatican had “noted with particular sat isfaction” that General Franco's decision to commute the death sentences “answers an appeal to the Spanish Head of State by the Holy Father.” [1] and "large sectors of international public opinion led by Jean-Paul Sartre looked to ETA as the vanguard of anti-Francoist resistance."

  • Comment: The coming month has several occasions on which this would be a good fit: 3 December (start of the trials), 9 December (end of the hearings), 28 December (day of the verdict) and even 30 December (day of the commutation).

Image eligibility:

  • Used in article: No - Inadmissible, although the logo is used in the article it's not sufficiently related to the topic, which is the trials rather than the organization.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: It's a bit weird to give the location but not the publisher for books. Stating the publisher makes it much easier to determine if the book is a reliable source. I think ALT0 is hookier. Image not approved. (t · c) buidhe 08:20, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
