      A memorial exhibition for those killed in the May 2014 Odessa tragedy was held in Valencia, Thursday.

      Organisers held talks and displayed a photo exhibition of the tragedy, with several witnesses present at the event. Members of the local communist party were also there to show solidarity.

      48 people were killed when the Trade Union House in Odessa was set on fire on May 2 by Ukrainian nationalist groups, eight of whom died after leaping from the building's windows to escape the spreading fire. Almost 250 other people were injured in clashes between pro-Kiev, Ukrainian nationalist and anti-Kiev groups.
