Prisoners Now Present Initiative to Promote Change in Prison Policy
- Now the Prisoners initiative has been presented with a paper signed by several personalities to promote the change of prison policy. In addition to spreading the manifesto, a mobilizazi has been announced for October 20 in Bilbao.
The statement "Now Prisoners" was released on June 2 by 46 well-known faces of culture, universities, politics and communication. "Today," they write, "although ETA has ceased to exist, there are 282 Basque prisoners who are hundreds or thousands of kilometres away from their relatives. Despite the fact that these people in prison enjoy their rights, they are still subject to exceptional measures that contravene both Spanish and European legislation and punish not only the prisoner, but also family members, especially children and elderly people."
To begin to guide this, the signatories see four specific issues that need to be resolved immediately:
- Get away from him. Which forces hundreds of family members to walk hundreds of miles every weekend.
- Seriously ill prisoners. Before a few days of life remain, inmates who are sick have the right to be cared for properly, here and now.
- The application of the sum of the penalties of two States, as stipulated in the European legislation.
- First grade change. Basque prisoners serve 100% of their sentence in first grade, which is against the law.
"It is time to untie the knots," say the promoters of Now Prisoners, "it is time to unite those of us who have not been able to unite. It is time to resolve the issue of the present." They call on citizens to join the demonstration being organized for October 20th, "to help it become the largest mobilization ever in this country."
“Saihestu egingo dira giza eskubideen, ordenamendu juridikoaren eta espetxeetako tratamendu psikosozialaren aurkako balioak eta jarrerak babestea, justifikatzea eta goratzea ekar dezaketen adierazpenak”, dio, besteak beste, agiriak. Azaroan Eusko Jaurlaritzako... [+]
Asteazken eguerdian berreskuratu du askatasuna astigartarrak, zigorra osorik beteta. Espainiako Auzitegi Nazionalak otsailean inputatu zuen ETAren zuzendaritzako ustezko beste lau kiderekin batera, Gregorio Ordoñezen hilketa leporatuta.
Martxoaren 13an lau urte bete dira Fran Balda arbizuarra istripuz hil zela. Preso, iheslari eta deportatuen etxeratzearen alde egin zuen lan, eta haren bost kidek idatzi diote gutun hau.
Frantziako Poliziak 2002an atxilotu zuen zumarragarra, eta 30 urteko zigorra betetzen ari da. Sare Herritarrak mobilizazioa deitu du datorren ostiralerako, Urretxuko Potros Plazan.
Iratxeren Bidasoaldeko Lagunak ekimenak deituta, dozenaka lagun kalera atera ziren atzo Iratxe Sorzabal preso politiko irundarraren absoluzioa eskatzeko eta behingoz etxera ekartzeko, torturak salatzeaz gain.
Sare Herritarrak antolatuta, pasa den urtarrilaren 11n Bilboko kaleak bete zituen manifestazio jendetsuaren ondoren, berriz sortu da eztabaida, euskal presoei salbuespen legeriarik aplikatzen ote zaion. Gure iritzia azaltzen saiatuko gara.
