| Officials in Madrid have been accused of lying about the cremation of 3000 civilians, executed under the brutal regime of Francisco Franco, after heavy rains exposed a mass grave.
Recent storms swept away soil in an area of La Almudena public cemetery, exposing the bones of people executed on the orders of Francoist military courts in the five years after Spain's civil war ended in 1939.
The finding contradicts a claim by the municipal funeral company which said the ossuary containing the remains of those killed during the military dictator's post-war repression had been located and that the bones were cremated in the Nineties.
"It was a genuine surprise, because it had been thought that the ossuary was empty," said Mauricio Valiente, the head of Madrid's human rights and historical memory department.
