18/98: Official Statement

Basque Government denounces "ideas are being imprisoned"

12/20/2007

Justice councilor Joseba Azkarraga, acting as a spokesman for the Basque Government, said the sentence of the 18/98 trial is a "twisted" interpretation of the law.

Justice Councilor Joseba Azkarraga said, acting as a spokesman for the Basque Government, the sentence of the 18/98 trial against a network of Basque left-wing social and political groups means that "ideas are being imprisoned.

"It is a "twisted" interpretation of the law that leads to deprive unfairly some citizens of their freedom, Azkarraga added.

In an official statement read the day after the reading of the 18/98 sentence that convicts 47 people to prison terms ranging from two to 24 years, Azkarraga said it is an "offence of opinion" and added it is a "political reading" to say everything is "ETA".


I would say, ideals are also being imprisoned.

Mr. Azkarraga, this would not be taking place without the PNV's silent complicity, so, do not leave the whole thing in just a few words, act, you need to act to stop this from happening again and again.
