El País

Trinidad Garrigues Ortí, a 35-year-old mother of three, was fatally shot by the Franco regime in 1939 after a minor altercation with a guard while visiting her imprisoned husband. The incident, occurring during the Spanish Civil War and subsequent Franco dictatorship, highlights the brutality and arbitrary nature of the regime's justice system. Her execution, along with thousands of others, occurred at the ‘paredón de España’ in Paterna, a site of mass graves for victims of the dictatorship.
