"Anboto" by ETA Covite has accused the former chief of giving him semi-liberty in prison. Believing that he has spent "little time"

The group of victims of terrorism has warned that the terrorist organization remains "inseparable from the political and social fabric that supported and legitimized it".

SAN SEBASTIÁN, 23/03/2026.- Vista de la cárcel de Martutene de San Sebastián este lunes, tras la concesión de un régimen de semilibertad a la exjefa de ETA Soledad Iparraguirre, 'Anboto', en aplicación del artículo 100.2 del Reglamento Penitenciario, el mismo que se otorgó en su día al exdirigente de ETA Garikoitz Aspiazu, Txeroki.

Covite considers it "unjustifiable" to grant a semi-liberty regime to former ETA leader Soledad Iparragirre Anboto . According to the complaint, Iparragirre "has a very serious criminal record, having been sentencedto 793 years and 8 months in prison, and is linked to 14 murders. "

On Monday, the Association of Victims of Terrorism criticised , in a statement, the decision of the Basque Government to apply Article 100.2 of the Prison Regulations to grant Iparragirre this semi-liberty regime.

Soledad Iparragirre can leave Gipuzkoa Penitentiary from this Monday, from Mondayto Friday, but go back to sleep, always to work or volunteer, at predetermined times.

Covite has strongly criticized this measure for "its short time in prison, its full connection with the left abertzale and its very serious criminal history." In the view of the group, this case clearly demonstrates that "Article 100.2, which was conceived as an unusual formula for making the serving of sentences more flexible, is being used globally with ETA prisoners and is completely distorting its purpose and meaning."

In Covite's view, "it is no coincidence that this measure was applied to Soledad Iparragirre: "Anboto was not a basic etarra or a prisoner of no importance in the structure of ETA, but a leading figure of the organization and a person very well identified with his political leadership. "

The group has ensured that this is "the trap of Article 100.2: the use of an extraordinary shortcutto give a semi-liberty regime to those who cannot yet reach the third degree. "" The law is apparently complied with, but its purpose is completely distorted, "Ordóñez warns.
