Editorial Staff

There were mass demonstrations yesterday in the four capitals of the Southern Basque Country to denounce the death of Karmele Solaguren. Thousands of people condemned the death of the mother of the Basque prisoner, Ekain Gerra, and called for a stop to the dispersion of Basque prisoners.

Four thousand people turned out in Iruñea (Pamplona) yesterday. The demo set out from the Golem cinemas with the slogan Karmele gogoan zaitugu. Dispertsioa hiltzailea (We will remember you, Karmele. Dispersion kills). The protest was led by a photo of Solaguren and dancers carrying a red, white and green Basque flag or ikurrina. The march headed for Barañain amid a round of applause and shouts of “Karmele, we will remember you!” and “The people won’t forgive!”
