Journalist Pablo González must remain in prison for at least three more months. This has been decided this Thursday by a court in Poland, in charge of its case, which has requested the prosecution, according to the public media. It's the eighth time Gonzalez gets a provisional prison.

Gonzalez was arrested by the secret services of Poland in February 2022, when he was reporting on the migrant crisis that caused the war in the city of Przemyu, very close to the Ukrainian border. Polish justice accused him of being a spy for Russia, agent of the "General Directorate of Intelligence of the Russian Staff". Since then, he has remained in prison without the ability to defend himself. It is played with ten years' imprisonment.

During these two years there have been many requests for release in the Basque Country and internationally, arguing for the absence of crimes and evidence against it, as well as the violation of rights by Poland in the process. For example, he was denied the possibility of maintaining a relationship with his family or a trusted attorney. They remained incommunicado for a long time.

Thus, Vasco Pablo González is the only journalist from the European Union imprisoned in the European Union itself.
