Ekain Perrino, who was the victim of a homophobic attack in Basauri in 2021, has stated in the trial against the eleven defendants that he knows all the alleged assailants who tried to knock him unconscious and yell "dirty faggot." He added that after that attack he sees them on the street "every day" and that, even after 5 years, he continues to treat because what he has lived affects his mental health.
The First Section of the Bizkaia Territorial Court has today opened a trial against eleven people accused of committing a homophobic attack on the victim, 23 years old at the time of the incident, in an area of Bizkotzalde Park in the early morning of 6 June 2021, where several groups of people were present.
During the first session of the trial, the victim stated that he was talking to friends in the park and that one of the defendants, who was with another group of 13 people, told him to leave, that he was going to "infect" them and that they were "disgusted."
On hearing these words, Perrino told him that if his presence disturbed him, he had no choice but to leave. According to the victim, he received the first blow from the back, and then the others were thrown at him, beating him, until he was "unconscious." He said that, according to what they have told him, they continued to beat him even when he was unconscious.
