The Basque Parliament will today support the José María Basoa Valdovinos and Andrés Martínez Adasme billiards who were arrested more than a year ago Venezuela. The President of the House will read an institutional declaration calling for respect for their fundamental and procedural rights, and the Venezuelan authorities are urged to allow regular communication with their families, the assistance of trusted lawyers and permanent consular care.

Both were arrested on September 2, 2024, shortly after travelling to the Venezuelan Amazon for tourism, according to their families. Since then they have been held in El Rodeo 1 prison, one of the toughest in the country. The Venezuelan Government and President Nicolás Maduro are accused of belonging to the Spanish National Intelligence Centre (CNI) and committing an attack on it.

The Spanish authorities have on several occasions denied the association of Basra and Martinez with State institutions and have described it as unfair detention. During the thirteen months they have been imprisoned, they have had little contact with the outside world: a short five-minute telephone call in May, a consular visit in September and another telephone communication in October.

The declaration of the Basque Parliament calls for 'all diplomatic and political efforts' to bemade to secure his freedom  and to guarantee his rights. The relatives of both will attend the plenary today, where a minute of silence will be observed and a declaration against male violence will be read, following last week's murder in Zarautz.
