Survivors of 2017 Spain attacks hope for justice

(10 Nov 2020) Survivors of the 2017 Barcelona attacks that killed 16 and injured 140 others said Monday they hope the trial of three people for their alleged role in the deadly assault will bring justice and closure. The three — Driss Oukabir, Mohamed Houli Chemlal and Said Ben Iazza — are not accused of taking part directly in the attacks but of forming part of the extremist cell that carried them out. They have been in custody for the past three years. On Aug. 17, 2017, a man driving a van plowed into a section of Barcelona's crowded Las Ramblas boulevard, killing several people and injuring many others, before escaping on foot. Fifty-five-year-old veterinarian Lourdes Porcar was one of the many people on the Ramblas that day and was narrowly missed by the van. She assisted several victims including a Canadian couple. The man died on the spot but Porcar was able to help his wife who she still remains in contact with today. "I hope that the trial can bring justice. Justice because of the terrible things that happened and made so many people suffer," said Porcar. She herself has needed psychological treatment and is still recovering, she said. The six people who carried out the attacks were later shot and killed by police. Prosecutors in the trial are asking for prison terms ranging from eight to 41 years.
