OBJETOR DE CONCIENCIA

The number of conscientious objectors to military service in Spain initially started to rise in the 1960s even though under the Francoist government of the time they could expect to be tried in a military court and to receive a long prison sentence. In the 1970s objectors tended to be assigned to non-fighting units like the medical corps and a law was finally passed in 1984 giving them legal status. In 1988 an alternative non-military programme (Prestación Social Sustitutoria or PSS) was developed allowing objectors to do social and community work. Events like Spain's membership of NATO in 1986 and the Gulf War in 1990 triggered a dramatic increase in the numbers of conscientious objectors.
