Ascención Mendieta
Ascención Mendieta Ibarra (29 November 1925 – 16 September 2019), was a Spanish activist for the rights of civilians killed during the Spanish Civil War. She became a symbol for anti-fascist movements - notably the Association for the Recovery of Historic Memory (ARMH) - as a result of her seventy-year struggle to recover the body of her father, Timoteo Mendieta (Alcala), and buried with twenty-three other victims in a mass grave in the cemetery of Guadalajara. Ascension Mendieta managed to use international human rights law in the so-called "Argentine Complaint" against the crimes of Franco, finally resulting in her father's exhumation in 2017.
