HODELIN TABLADA, Ricardo. Tribute to the 8 Medicine students in the 150 anniversary of their execution. MEDISAN [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.6, pp. 1508-1524.  Epub 22-Nov-2021. ISSN 1029-3019.

On November 27th, 1871, 8 Medicine students were executed. This unjust event, stained with the blood of Cuban youths, indignated many people both in Cuba and abroad and showed, once again, the murderous clutches of a Spanish metropolis that were falling into decline. The present work that surrenders tribute to these youths in the 150 anniversary of the events, points out in a historiographic and documentary way those tragic incidents. The precedents that favored the murder are analyzed. It is commented on the Spanish journalist Gonzalo Castañón and the trials to which were subjected these students are exposed.
