Tribute to Salvador Puig Antich on the 50th anniversary of his execution

On 2 March 1974, the Iberian Liberation Movement activist Salvador Puig Antich was executed by the dictator regime of Francisco Franco in the La Model Prison of Barcelona. Alongside Heinz Chez, his was the last execution to take place under Franco's dictatorship. To commemorate 50 years since his execution, the UAB Cinema Hall will project on 22 February the film Salvador (Manuel Huerga), which will be followed by a colloquium with the participation of the filmmaker, the activist's sisters Carme and Imma Puig Antich, film producer Jaume Roures and scriptwriter Lluís Arcarazo. Participating in representation of the UAB will be Rector Javier Lafuente, and Dean Enric Marín from the Faculty of Communication Studies. The film projection will open the series of activities "Puig Antich: 50 anys: El compromís vigent" which will also take place at other universities and at the La Model cultural centre, located in the former prison.
