Azkoitiarra Txetxu Urteaga dies after 40 years of escape

  • The deported Azkoitiarra Jesús Ricardo Urteaga Txetxu died in Venezuela this Thursday from cancer he had suffered for years. He fled Azkoitia in 1979 and was arrested in France in 1984. In May of that same year he was deported to Venezuela. He has lived there until now, until the cancer has killed him.

Sortu has expressed to the family of Urteaga his "affection and solidarity" with the Basque pp. It has also transferred its solidarity “to all the families of Basque refugees and deportees, as well as those who are still in prison and exile”.

The Pro-Amnesty and Anti-Repression Movement has also conveyed its condolences to the family: “We denounce the death of Jesus Ricardo without being able to return to the Basque Country.”

The AAEA movement has recalled that deportation is an unknown punishment: “Despite not being in jail, the deportees live in a legal limbo, because, despite the past years, the penalty never ends.”
