The Basque political prisoner José Ángel Ochoa de Eribe was released on parole a minute ago.

The prisoner of Urkabustaiz is suffering from a serious illness that gave him the third prison grade last June and now on parole, according to the association of family members Etxerat. She faces the disease at home.

“We appeal to the new Spanish Government that will soon materialise, to the judges and to the penitentiary institutions, to put an end to this pointless suffering once and for all. We still have 20 family members with serious illnesses in prisons, 15 of them on the public list, and they all have to be on the street without conditions, without any delay,” ETXERAT said.
