Ein spanischer Fan, der bei Zwischenfällen nach dem Europa-League-Spiel Athletic Bilbao gegen FC Schalke 04 (2:2) schwer verletzt worden war, ist am Montag gestorben. Wie ein Krankenhaus in Bilbao mitteilte, erlag der 28-Jährige seinen Kopfverletzungen. Nach Darstellung von Augenzeugen war der Mann im Anschluss an die Partie am vergangenen Donnerstag von einem Gummigeschoss der Polizei am Kopf getroffen worden.
Das baskische Innenministerium wies aber darauf hin, es sei noch nicht geklärt, wie der 28-Jährige sich die Verletzung zugezogen habe. Die Ermittler hätten eine Untersuchung eingeleitet. Die Ärzte hatten bei dem Fan einen Schädelbruch und erhebliche Hirnverletzungen festgestellt.
Der Zwischenfall hatte sich in einer Gegend der baskischen Metropole ereignet, in der die Athletic-Fans traditionell die Erfolge ihres Clubs feiern. Die Basken waren mit dem Remis gegen Schalke ins Halbfinale der Europa League eingezogen

Shoot in head by Spanish police after match against
Schalke
We have just received this tragic news and we will try
to get some more information as soon as possible. 28 years old Iñigo Cabacas
Liceranzu , supporter of Bilbao, died today after struggling for his life the
last days. A smaller riot broke out in city after Athletic Bilbao played
against Schalke 5th March. It's said two fans had a little dispute while
drinking after the match. Police came and shoot some rubber balls, while fans
replied with bottles. According to newspapers Iñigo were hit in the head by a
rubber ball fired from the Basque Police. Iñigo was sent to hospital where he
was in coma, and today he sadly past away. Spanish police are known for their
brutality against football supporters. It's still not 100 % confirmed what or
who killed Iñigo, but we hope we will see justice in this tragic case!
Narration of a witness' testimony appeared in
social networks:
"I witnessed what happened on Thursday. After
the football match I agreed to meet my brother and girlfriend to have a drink
at the Kirruli, as we use to, and just after arrival we saw two people, both
wearing Athletic shirts, wrestling each other. People nagged at them as it was
time of celebration and nothing else happened. We continued discussing the
match, laughing... and some 5-10 minutes later (I think) some four vans of
sepoys [slang for Basque police forces], masked as a matter of course, and with
the guns readied. People began crying and whistling against them because nobody
understood what they were doing there, much less with that attitude. And they
just began shooting indiscriminately (three of them specifically).
It must be said that the area where all happened is a narrow street and that they were shooting at head level from some 20-30 meters. People scattered around and soon (some 5 minutes later) we heard a girl asking for an ambulance. I and my brother went there and saw a person bleeding from the head. I and someone else run towards them (the black ones [the anti-riot police]) asking for an ambulance and one said "it will come". Not knowing what else to do we went back to the place where the body was, together with 6-7 other people, and suddenly I noticed how I was beaten with a baton on the arm and the back (from behind, while squatting). Raging I told them: "look what you have done, you have killed him" and one of them replied "that I must see myself" and hit me twice again and sent me away. The ambulance had not yet arrived, not a siren could be heard either. Besides, the police vans impeded the access of any vehicle. The Police claims that they attended a call saying that someone was injured. If so, where was the ambulance? Why four vans full of sepoys arrived instead? Why masked armed men descended from them if they had to succor a person? How could have we been partying with a person in such a state? From here I ask the murderer or murderers to show their faces, that their wives/husbands, sons/daughters, friends know that they have a monster, an amoral person without conscience and a happy trigger at home. I ask the responsible people (all politicians without exception) to condemn the incident and that justice be made. I ask that they take the weapons and the masks from them and that a morality test be made before they can join this shit of insecurity corps we have. Ask a why and, even if it is useless, a compensation. I want to say that I am ready to declare this wherever is needed. My telephone number is XXXXXXX.
