I am just explaining what the picture is. Each island had a different sad story to tell.
I presume you are referring to those excuted by both sides, for example the 21 priests shot by the republicans in Ibiza.
The image is more than just laying flowers. It is laying flowers on the memorial to around 2,000 people executed in Mallorca during the Civil War. Many of them would family members of those murdered.
