press release
Monday April 26, 2010 06:18 by Dublin Basque - Dublin Irish Basque Solidarity Committee
DUBLIN BASQUE SOLIDARITY PROTEST ACCUSES PRESIDENCY OF EUROPEAN UNION OF REPRESSION AND TORTURE OF BASQUE POLITICAL ACTIVISTS AND JOURNALISTS. The Dublin branch of the Irish Basque Solidarity Committees protested the European Union Presidency being held by Spain, a state condemned for repression and torture by Amnesty International and by committees of the United Nations and of the European Union itself. That the Presidency of the European Union is currently "in the hands of a repressive and torturing state", was the message clearly declared on the placards of a demonstration on Saturday afternoon (24th May 2010) in O'Connell Street, the main street of Dublin's capital. The demonstration was organised by the Dublin branch of the Irish Basque Solidarity Committees and was protesting repression and torture of Basques by the Spanish state, currently holding Presidency of the EU. Incidents of repression by the Spanish state included the banning of Basque political parties and electoral platforms as well as arrests of their activists, closure of Basque newspapers and radio stations and arrests of journalists, banning of youth organisations and arrests of their activists and cruel treatment of over 500 Basque political prisoners (another 200 are held by France). |
