Cemetery vandalised: Perpetrators post video on social media

Country: Spain

Date of incident: June 23, 2024


On the night of 23 June, the Spanish fiesta of San Juan, young people destroyed all the niches and some religious images in the Valdoviño cemetery ( La Coruña) by kicking them down. They also smashed statues of saints on tombstones and tore off their heads. They recorded their acts of destruction and abuse, including shouts and insults such as "F*** Jesus Christ", and uploaded the video to social networks.

The violence used by these young men, who destroyed everything they found at the cemetery has shocked the residents of this small Galician town. In the video, the face of one of the young men can be seen, shirtless, destroying part of the cemetery.

The images, published on social networks, have made it possible to identify those involved.
