Spanish media reported on Sunday the death of journalist and human rights activist Lucia Jimenez, who died at the age of 60 after a sudden heart attack in the southern city of Malaga, a loss that has resonated across media and rights circles in Spain and the Canary Islands.
Jimenez became widely known for her long-standing advocacy related to the Western Sahara, where she emerged as a prominent female voice critical of the Polisario Front. She consistently sought to shift the debate away from political slogans toward issues of civilian victims, legal accountability and justice.
Her activism was rooted in personal tragedy. Her father was killed in an armed attack carried out by Polisario fighters targeting Canary Island civilians during the period of Spanish decolonization, an event that profoundly shaped her public engagement.
Jimenez went on to found and lead the Canary Association of Victims of Terrorism, which worked to reopen cases involving attacks on Canary fishermen and civilians near the Sahara and to press for accountability. Her efforts brought the issue of victims into European legal and human rights discussions, giving the conflict a human dimension long absent from international debate.
