Llona Walks Free

The Spanish inquisidors and the main stream media are quite upset over the liberation of the Basque political refugee Lorenzo Llona in Mexico.

This is how Reuters, a media outlet close to the fascist government in Madrid covered the story:

Mexico frees ETA suspect sought in Spain killings

MEXICO CITY, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Mexico freed a suspected member of the armed Basque separatist group ETA who is wanted in Spain for three killings more than 20 years ago, while six other ETA suspects await extradition, government officials said on Thursday.

A Mexican judge denied Spain's request to extradite Lorenzo Llona Olalde, the foreign ministry said.

Llona Olalde, who according to local news reports had been on a hunger strike for 21 days, was arrested in April in the central state of Zacatecas at Spain's request.

He had taken Mexican nationality and been a legal resident of Mexico for 10 years, according to migration officials. But his defense argued he was already in Mexico when a 1981 ETA attack in the Basque town of Tolosa killed three people.

The foreign ministry said in a news release on Wednesday that the judge's decision was based on a "profound and detailed analysis" of the extradition request.

Six other ETA suspects arrested in Mexico in July in a joint operation by the two countries are still awaiting a judge's decision on extradition.

The six Spaniards, arrested along with three Mexicans, are believed to have channeled funds to and from the ETA and helped exiled members hide their identity.

Once again the trained monkey at Reuters who penned this article forgot about one fundamental principle in democracy, the presumption of innocence. The Mexican judge decided that Madrid's junta was unable to sustain its accusation against Llona Olalde, therefore there is no basis for an extradition, period.

On top, he insults the six other Basques by calling them Spaniards.
