Maravillas Lamberto

Maravillas Lamberto was a 14-year-old girl from Larraga, Navarre, who was raped and killed by Falangists, part of the Nationalist faction, during the July 1936 coup d'état which started the Spanish Civil War.

The uprising, spearheaded in Navarre by Carlists and General Mola's military forces, was followed by harsh repression against pro-Republican leaders and sympathizers and their families.

Following the coup d´etat unleashing the Spanish Civil War on 18 July 1936, the village of Larraga came to be hard hit by a terror campaign waged by the Nationalist rebels on the rearguard of Navarre against the wedge of population who opposed or did not sympathise with the uprising.

[1] On the night of 15–16 August 1936, a group consisting of civil guards, a Falangist and a local arrived at the house of Vicente, threatening to break open the door.

She is a founder of the AFFNA-36, the Association of Firing Squad Victims Families of Navarre, which filed a lawsuit in Argentina against the crimes committed in Spain during Franco's dictatorship that remain unaccounted for.
