Jump To Comment: 1 2Today more than 100 very well known Basque political, social and trade union activists, representing the majority of the Basque people, asked for the inmediate release of the 47 people sentenced to long prison terms this week for their work in favour of the Basque Country's rights.
Most of them got between 10 and 24 years in prison for their public and peaceful work. All of them are well known, respected and high profile members of different community and grassroot groups. Among them there are university lecturers, journalists, writers, trade unionists, environmentalists, lawyers, language activists, intellectuals...
Thousands of people have taken to the streets in the last few days in the Basque Country to protest against this new Spanish attack on civil and political rights.
..."Justice councilor Joseba Azkarraga, acting as a spokesman for the Basque Government, said the sentence of the 18/98 trial is a "twisted" interpretation of the law. Justice Councilor Joseba Azkarraga said, acting as a spokesman for the Basque Government, the sentence of the 18/98 trial against a network of Basque left-wing social and political groups means that "ideas are being imprisoned.
"It is a "twisted" interpretation of the law that leads to deprive unfairly some citizens of their freedom, Azkarraga added. In an official statement read the day after the reading of the 18/98 sentence that convicts 47 people to prison terms ranging from two to 24 years, Azkarraga said it is an "offence of opinion" and added it is a "political reading" to say everything is "ETA".......

_____________________________
as ZP the PM who deserves to lose the next election for not knowing the price of a cup of a coffee or the worth of a cup of tea announces the General Election date in the Spanish state for March 9th 2008, Basque TV news (EITB) publishes an opinion poll :-
".... 60% of citizens of Basque Community, against banning parties - They are against the banning of Basque leftist parties EHAK and ANV, opposite to that, 20% would support it. On the other hand, violence is still the main problem of those polled. According to the Basque socio-meter, almost 60% of those polled say they are against the banning of Basque leftist parties EHAK and ANV and 20% of the citizens would support that measure. Half of the citizens of the Basque Community are also against the decision to imprison the members of outlawed leftist party Batasuna. Basque armed group ETA’s terrorist attacks made the Spanish Government to argue again about the necessity to outlaw ANV and EHAK, because they have the same ideas as the already outlawed Basque party Bastasuna, But public opinion opposes this kind of initiatives. Some years ago, the majority of the Basques opposed the banning of Batasuna and now they do the same with the parties mentioned above. Almost 6 out of 10 of those polled are against the banning of ANV and EHAK and that opinion is almost unanimous among nationalists (82%). Non-nationalists are more divided: only a third of them say they are against it. Opposite to that, a fifth of the citizens of the Basque Community would support the banning of those two political parties.
Violence, the main preoccupation
Violence is again the main preoccupation of the citizens due to the end of cease-fire and ETA’s terrorist attacks. Apart from violence, housing and unemployment are the most mentioned problems of the Basque community. Almost the half of the citizens of the Basque Community support Basque premier’s proposal to call for a referendum in 2008 in order to ask the citizens whether they support or not self-determination right. A third of those polled would not support that referendum.
