Nowadays, there are no studies to exactly quantify the total number of people wounded as a result of the violence carried out by the States. According to data offered by the Basque Government, between the years 1960 and 2013, 746 people were wounded by security forces, and 426 by paramilitary and extreme right groups.

But reality is far more extensive. For example, only in one day, the 3rd of March of 1976, in the massacre of Vitoria-Gasteiz, 60 people were wounded in 15 minutes (44 of them with bullet wounds).


The 107/2012 Decree of the Basque Autonomous Region gives recognition to 66 wounded people, 55 of them caused by firearms, and the rest by rubber bullets. This report reflects only a small sample of reality.
