Spain will not overturn death sentence of poet Miguel Hernandez

Spain will not overturn death sentence of poet Miguel Hernandez - Monsters and Critics: "Spain's Supreme Court on Wednesday declined to revise the death sentence handed to Miguel Hernandez (1910-42), one of the country's greatest 20th-century poets.
Hernandez fought in Spain's 1936-39 civil war on the side of the leftist republicans against General Francisco Franco. After Franco won the war, 'people's poet' Hernandez was sentenced to death on charges including his 'left-wing' poetry."
