Madrid - A Spanish judge has ordered the release of a Basque couple whose arrest had been touted as the capture of two of the "most wanted" members of the militant Basque separatist group ETA on Sunday, press reports said Wednesday. The photos of Oroitz Aldekoa-Otarola and Agurne Salterain had been distributed by police, but it turned out there was not even an arrest warrant against them.

The couple had lodged an ETA member whom they described as a childhood friend. They told the judge they did not know that the man belonged to ETA...

Things like this happens when a country like Spain renounces to a law principle like the one that indicates that every person is innocent until proven guilty. As it happens, according to Madrid and Paris, all Basques are guilty until proven innocent, and if they are proven innocent then you can still torture them until they admit having committed a crime.

Spanish jails are full of "ordinary" Basques.
