After 70 weeks the closure was closed against the dispersion of Basque prisoners

27
years ago

20 April 1997,

After 70 weeks, the closure against the dispersion of Basque prisoners in the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd of San Sebastian ended. For 70 weeks, every seven days a new group started fasting, with a total of 600 people alternating hunger on collective strike. They ended the closure with a massive act and launched a travelling hunger strike. The relay was taken by the group Itoiz Elkartasuna in the church of Orbai.
