The Egiari Zor Foundation has called for official recognition of the consequences of the exceptional prison policy

18:00 - 20:00

The Egiari Zor Foundation held an event this Saturday in Loiu, the town of the former member of ETA José Ramón Goikoetxea Bilbao, 40 years after his death in Alcalá Meco prison.

The Egiari Zor Foundation recalls that he appeared dead after 50 days of incommunicado detention. He was 24 years old and had been imprisoned for four years. 



The Egiari Zor Foundation has denounced that the death of the prisoner Goikoetxea could have been prevented and has enacted a law recognizing the deaths of the 36 prisoners who have died in prison over the past 40 years: "In the last 40 years, during this time of so-called democracy, 36 Basque political prisoners and 16 relatives have lost their lives in different situations, as a result of the systematic exceptional measures applied. In addition, two other people committed suicide trying to avoid imprisonment, "recalls Pilar Garaialde.

Garaialde has cited "denial of health care, prolonged isolation, communications intervention, harsh prison living conditions, etc." and has stressed the need to recognize all direct and indirect violence caused by the prison system.

Garaialde has denounced cases of relatives and friends killed or affected by the policy of dispersal and remoteness because the Basque Law on Recognition and Reparation does not provide for them and has called for this situation to be corrected.
