The Spanish government has overturned the Francoist sentence that condemned the anarchist Salvador Puig Antich to death 50 years ago.He was executed in the notorious La Model prison in Barcelona on March 2, 1974, and was the last prisoner to be put to death by garrote – a device that strangles the victim - by the regime.The Minister of Territory and Democratic Memory, Ángel Víctor Torres, on Wednesday presented the family of Puig Antich with a declaration of "recognition and reparation" as a victim of the Francoist regime.The acknowledgment comes after his family's endless struggle to have members of the Francoist regime tried in Spanish, European and Argentine courts for his death."We have been fighting for this for 50 years. For the dignity of our brother Salvador. This moment is very important for us, we are touched and without words," said his sister Imma Puig Antich.
