On February 20th, a 13-year-old boy allegedly stabbed an 18-year-old young man to death in the popular neighbourhood of La Rondilla, Valladolid (Spain). The National Police investigation suggests that the crime took place in the context of a rivalry between youth gangs. The 13-year-old allegedly belongs to the Dominican Don't Play (DDP) and took the life of Juan Esteban R., who reportedly belonged to the Trinitarios. In the crime scene photographs, the victim's football goalkeeper gloves can be seen lying on the pavement.

S. have long exploited a legal loophole to control and discriminate against LGBTQ+ students with impunity— inflicting financial pain and emotional trauma in the process. Now there’s a new battle brewing over this warped version of religious freedom.
