Some 250 people have met in Baiona in solidarity with the political prisoner Patxi Ruiz, on hunger strike. The demonstration started from the town house, traveled the streets of Bilbao with a shout and ended in front of the Consulate of Spain.

In the final quote, the organizers have made it clear that the final victory will be for Xala-Zubieta. “Patxi’s decision has not come out of the blue: it is nothing more than a consequence of the continuing attacks of prison policy.” The protest has ended in solidarity with Ruiz and the political prisoners in Basauri prison.

Demonstrations have also taken place in Bilbao, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Donostia-San Sebastián and Durango.

On hunger strike

Despite abandoning the beverage strike, the prisoner will continue on hunger strike, as reported by the Pro Amnesty and Anti-Repression Movement. La Barda was transferred around 23:00 hours, as a result of an order from the Mullah Court, to the Virgen de la Arrixaca Hospital, at the request of the prison for risk to her life. She was admitted to the hospital with 2 liters of serum and was able to receive the visit of her mother, who was treated. He returns to Murcia II prison. In this case, he's in the hospital, because on his way back from jail, he's been given a COVID-19 prevention quarantine.

The Chantrea began thirteen days ago a hunger and thirst strike to denounce the threats and coercion of officials for their participation in a protest to denounce the prison's health conditions.
