Prisoners

Three letters addressed to the victims have been made public, one from Iparragirre and two from Aspiazu.

As a result of Article 100.2, since last March, he has only been in prison to sleep during the week and weekends. This decision obliges him to stay in prison.

The Minister of the Interior of the Spanish Government, Fernando Grande Marlaska, has said that he found "disgusting" images of the child in the last Korrika, including a photograph of an ETA prisoner. He has explained that the security forces remain vigilant in the face of such events, but has added that, with the law in hand, these acts are not a crime.

The Security Adviser, Bingen Zupiria, has stressed  that the Basque Government "has complied with the law" since it assumed prison powers, eta, in any case, it is Justice that "will have the last word", as well as condemning the paintings that have appeared in recent days.

The complaint was filed by UPN on the grounds that the images of the race for the Basque Country passing through the Pamplonese neighbourhood of La Chantrea and other Navarre towns exalted terrorism and humiliated the victims. 

The spokesman for the Basque Government has explained that Iparragirre has received the same treatment as any other prisoner and that no discretionary measures have been taken. He has pointed out that they understand the pain it may have caused to the victims of ETA. However, he has recalled that this measure is aimed at reintegration. Marisol Iparragirre has left the prison in Martutene on a semi-liberty basis this Tuesday.

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".

Article 100.2 of the Prison Regulations has been applied to him, so that he may be released from Martutene prison on working days, even if he must return to sleep.  

The 23-year-old man, who had psychiatric problems and was in a solitary cell, committed suicide.

The leader of the Basque PP, Javier de Andrés, and the MP of Vox, Amaya Martínez, have accused lehendakari, Imanol Pradales, and the Justice Counsellor, María Jesús San José of favouring ETA prisoners. 

Former ETA leader Garikoitz Aspiazu 'Txeroki' will be released from prison from Monday to Friday after the semi-liberty regime granted by the Basque Government, on which PSE-EE Secretary General Eneko Anduezahas spoken. 

The Salhaketa Association reported that last Thursday he was found dead in his cell, apparently dying of a heart attack while awaiting an autopsy. 

"Txeroki" was arrested in 2008 in France and is serving a sentence of more than 400 years for several attacks.  2024 was transferred from the French prison of Lannemezan to the prison of Martutene.

Zulueta was sentenced to seven and a half years' imprisonment for ETA membership, possession of weapons and explosives, and command of Halboka, while Enparantza  was sentenced to four years' imprisonment for ETA membership.

They will continue to work to put an end to the exceptional measures imposed on ETA prisoners. They have again called for political and judicial changes the day after the massive demonstration in Bilbao.

In addition to representatives of EH Bildu, Podemos, Junts, ERC, CUP, BNG and various trade unions, a broad cultural, university or sporting representation has joined the call for the "rights of prisoners" of ETA.
