Aitor Zelaia eta Galder Barbado euskal preso arabarrak. Argazkia: ANkerkeria Stop.

On 2 February 2021, the National High Court imposed on the young Aitor Zelaia and Galder Barbado a four-year prison sentence, a year of probation and a 10-year ban on the maintenance of "weapons and ammunition". In 2021, Argia interviewed Galder Barbado and the report of the Ertzaintza that supports the accusation denounced his intention to punish "political militancy."

At the trial, the Prosecutor ' s Office maintained the eight-year conviction petition, but in the appeal, the defense attorneys requested acquittal. On Wednesday, in view of the appeals, the final judgment will be announced.

The solidarity platform with Galder and Aitor, ANkerkeria Stop has reiterated that the evidence is not absolute and that it is actually a matter of prosecuting and criminalizing two young people for their political militancy: "The tests were backpacks and brides, they had no justification or strength to impose those penalties. Everything was based on a report from the Ertzaintza."

Call for solidarity mobilizations

The Stop Ankerkeria platform has convened three mobilisations at 19:00 in Agurain, Amurrio and Vitoria-Gasteiz for the day of the Supreme Court meeting. 'Now more than ever!' Under the motto "Weaving solidarity networks and publicizing the denunciation of the process", they have invited to participate in meetings.

"The cruelty caused by the political persecution of the police, the exceptional trial before the National High Court and the lack of possibility to lead a normal life in the last two years, we strongly denounce it," Stop said to the ANC on Saturday's note.
