Update: Euskalinfo has more information about this demonstration carried out by Basque youths in order to shed light on the process against the youth organizations being accused of (believe it or not) being part of ETA.

Some news outlets reported the demonstration also, many of them mentioning it was a peaceful act, quoting the police officers involved in the arrest of the four Basque youngsters:
