The Basque Government has granted thethird degree to former ETA leader Henri Parot on the basis of a report by the prison's Treatment Board , which imprisoned him in 1990 to serve a 40-year sentence.

From now on, the prosecution will have to examine the case and decide whether to appeal the decision.

Since last year, Henri Parot hasenjoyed a semi-liberty regime under Article 100.2of the Prison Regulations granted to him by the Basque Government, which has allowed him to leave prison from Monday to Friday to volunteer, although he was obliged to sleep again in prison, according to sources from the Department of Justice.

After learning of the award ofthe third degree, the Collective of Victims of Terrorism (Covite) has denounced the application of this prison regime to "one of the bloodiest terrorists in the history of ETA", convictedof"killing 39 people and attempting dozens of attacks".

This group of victims has also reproached the Basque Government for its prison policy being at the service of the abertzale left.

For its part,the Association of Victims of ErrorT (AVT) has requestedthe Public Prosecutor's Office of the National High Court to immediately examine this shipment and appeal it to the Central Prison Supervision Court.
