The story of 25-year-old Noelia Castillo Ramos, who died of euthanasia after she won the legal battle against her father to end her life, took yet another heartbreaking turn.
In the past, this young woman spoke of her childhood, much of it spent in care homes, and claimed she was sexually assaulted in three separate occasions, including being gang r**ed. Now her mother Yolanda Ramos said Noelia left a journal behind detailing the incident and naming the men who attacked her, the New York Post reported.
Yolanda is now fighting for justice on behalf of her late daughter, guided by the tragic entries left in the young woman’s personal journal. The writings detail a horrific night in Salou, Tarragona, where she met a waiter before being drugged, plied with alcohol, and assaulted by three men.
Since the original assault was never formally investigated, the family hopes this new evidence will prompt authorities to reopen the case. Ramos revealed that her daughter gave her the journal containing the incriminating details on the very day she died.
In a statement issued on Ramos’s behalf, the Spanish Foundation of Christian Lawyers published excerpts from the journal.
“Noelia wrote this before she died. She didn’t want the truth to die with her, so she wrote about who raped her, how it happened, and how those aggressions destroyed her life.
“Today, those writings are in the hands of the prosecutor’s office, because even after her death, justice can still be done. Share this video, so that no one can say tomorrow that they didn’t know.”
Ramos also shared a video revealing why she had decided to file the complaints, stating: “I am the mother of Noelia Castillo. I have decided to denounce the men who did so much harm to my daughter. I do it because I feel that is what she wanted. Noelia spoke of the rapes on television.
“And the same day she died, she gave me her diary, and when I read it, I understood many things. I feel that my daughter wanted the whole truth to be known someday. That is why I have decided to go to the prosecutor’s office. Because I can’t stand idly by. My daughter is not going to be returned to me.
“And I do it for her. And also for other girls who have experienced the same thing, but don’t report it. And that is not fair. I just want justice. It’s the only thing I can do for my daughter, Noelia Castillo. That she will never be forgotten. Thank you for listening to me.”
Noelia attempted suicide after the assault in 2022 and was left a paraplegic after sustaining a severe spinal cord injury.
The 25-year-old fought for her legal right to end her life in Spain because as she claimed, she experienced constant physical pain and psychological trauma.
Although she first sought euthanasia over a year ago, her request was stalled by a lengthy legal feud with her father, Geronimo Castillo.
“My father saw me fall and couldn’t do anything. But after everything he’s done, I don’t feel sorry for him anymore,” she said in an interview with Y Ahora Sonsoles.
“He hasn’t respected my decision and he never will.”
Speaking in one of her final televised interviews, Noelia opened up about how her family was against her decision to undergo euthanasia.
None of my family is in favour of euthanasia, obviously, because I’m another pillar of the family. But what about the pain that I’ve suffered all of these years?”
She also added: “The happiness of a father or a mother should not supersede the happiness of a daughter.”
