María José Longo Bautista has written on the website of Agencia Ocote a piece on the reaction of friends and relatives, of the victims, to the verdicts handed down in the Hogar Seguro case. The Agencia Ocote website hosts a sub-site called No Fue El Fuego (It was not the fire), in reference to the slogan, No Fue El Fuego, Fue El Estado (It was not the fire, it was the state), that killed our young women. This sub-site is a tremendous resource containing reports, interviews, a short documentary, podcast episodes, memorials to all the victims, and academic and literary reflections.
You can read the original, in Spanish, here, Así vivieron sobrevivientes y familiares de víctimas la «agridulce» sentencia del caso Hogar Seguro.
