Barcelona, December 28 (RHC)-- Cuba's general consul in Barcelona, Mabel Arteaga Rodríguez, has signed an agreement with authorities at the Justice Department of the Generalitat of Catalunya, Barcelona, that provides for the identification and transfer to Cuba of the remains of Cuban internationalist fighter Pablo de la Torriente Brau.

The accord provides the sides with the legal framework and terms to perform geophysical prospecting to recover all the remains found and make the corresponding genetic identification according to the census of people disappeared during the Civil War and the Franco dictatorship, and repatriate them to Cuba.

Pablo de la Torriente Brau was one of more than one thousand volunteer Cubans, who fought in the Spanish civil war to defend the Republic against fascism. He died in combat in the Madrid Front in December 1936. His remains are buried in Montjuïc Cemetery, in Barcelona. 

The Cuban consulate in Spain said that thanks to thorough research conducted by members of the Association of Friends of the International Brigades (AABI), we can count today on sufficient evidence to go ahead with the exhumation, identification and transfer of Pablo's remains to Cuba, as was his expressed will should he died in Spain.
