Who Forgot the Dead in the Sands of Sa Coma?

Answer

How is the memory of the Sa Coma killings being addressed on Mallorca today?

There are two main tracks: scientific archaeology and genetics to locate the missing, and a political debate over memory laws that governs who may dig and how findings are used. Voices of families, especially grandchildren, are central but often underrepresented in public discourse.
