The Spanish penitentiary institutions have announced that thirteen Basque prisoners will be transferred in the coming days to the prisons of Euskal Herria. It is the largest transfer approved so far by the Sanchez government.

Once these thirteen people have entered the Basque Country, some 40 people will be held outside the Basque Country and distributed throughout the Spanish prisons.

Photographs of prisoners at the National High Court

The Dignity and Justice association has filed a complaint against the comparsa bilbaína Txori Barrote, arguing that in the space entitled for Bilbao's Big Week there were photographs of political prisoners. The complaint has been accepted by the judge of the Spanish National Court, Ismael Moreno, who will launch an investigation to determine whether he "praised terrorism" and "humiliated the victims of terrorism". In 2010, four other members of Txori Barrot had to testify for showing photographs of political prisoners at the Spanish National Court. They were all acquitted.
