The Francoist repression in Ibiza is primarily known through oral testimony. Those deaths did not result in court proceedings, nor were they published in the local press and neither were they registered in the cemetery records of Ses Figueretes where the bodies of those executed were buried. Since the year 2014 in the Balearic Islands there have been a number of investigations to search, exhume and identify the remains of victims during the Spanish Civil War. This has been promoted by associations of historical memory and the Balearic government as a result of the regional law (2016) regarding the recovery of those missing during the Spanish Civil War and the dictatorship that followed; and the national law (2007) that favours those who suffered persecution and violence and recognises the human rights’ violations in Spain between 1939 and 1975. In Ibiza there have been three excavation campaigns in the cemetery of Ses Figueretes, which have served to complement and expand the information already available from the oral testimonies. During these interventions, the human remains of at least 13victims have been recovered, which also adds further testimony to the repression.
