The murder of a child in the district of Sants-Montjuïc, presumably by his father, violates the most basic of human rights. A minute’s silence was held this evening to condemn the killing.

The City Council fervently condemns all types of violence in general and this presumed murder, which occurred last night. To this end, the protocol for mourning established with various institutions and entities has been activated. The protocol is designed to offer a coordinated demonstration of grief and rejection through different communication channels and raise public awareness on the need to put an end to violence. The protocol includes a minute’s silence, which was held simultaneously in Plaça de Sant Jaume and in front of each of the city’s district offices.

Barcelona City Council has offered psychological and social support to the child’s family and those close to him.
