The Human Rights Observatory and Josu Mujika's family have called for four journalists to be called to testify

Likewise, on the 50th anniversary of Mujika's death, the NGO has requested the testimony of the two people who organized the presentations of the book 'I trust. 45 years of spy' in 2019 in Bilbao and Madrid.

Mikel Lejarza, police officer infiltrating ETA.

The Observatory for Human Rights and the relatives of Josu Mujika, who died in Madrid in 1975 , have asked to take a statement from four journalists accused of crimes against Mikel Lejarza El Lobo, who infiltrated ETA, and against another policeman.

Josu Mujika died on 30 July 1975 on a central street in Madrid in an operation to arrest members of a command in which the intelligence services had an undercover agent. The Basque Government recognized Mujika as a victim of human rights violations in one of thereports created  from the law of police abuses.

The Basque Government's Assessment Committee stated that the conflicting official versions (from the beginning of suicide, heart attack and shooting) could not be clarified in a non-independent investigation.

When the ECHR filed the complaint a year ago, it recalled that the aforementioned Assessment Committee had mentioned "the involvement of at least two authors" in the resolution on the Mujika case: "Mikel Lejarza, the infiltrating agent" and another policeman.

The complaint accuses them of a "crime against humanity", which the Democratic Memory Act establishes as "imprescriptible and unamnesty".

Now, on the 50th anniversary of Mujika's death, the NGO has released a statement in which, along with the statements of the four journalists cited, it has also requested the testimony of the two people who organized the presentations of the book 'I trust. 45 years of spy' in 2019 in Bilbao and Madrid.
