Maritime March in Plentzia by Basque prisoners and exiles
- VII Meeting organized by Etxerat. The march has taken place on the cliff of Plentzia to reclaim the return home of Basque political prisoners, exiled and deported.
The Maritime March organized by ETXERAT was held this Sunday at 12:30 hours on the cliff of Plentzia for the seventh consecutive year. “Stop the dispersion! Prisoners, exiles and deportees to Euskal Herria!” has been the motto of this year. Like every year, a tribute has been paid to family members and then a flower has been thrown into the water of each of the prisoners and left from the beach walk.
Faced with the pandemic situation caused by the coronavirus, the organizers have asked “to take care of each other and ensure health measures”, and this year they have not organized a popular meal during the march.
The callers have stressed the need to "put an end to the emergency penitentiary policy with the criminal". In the same vein, they have claimed “everyone home before it’s late,” as well as “an Basque Country without prisoners, escapes or deportees.”
They recalled Kepa del Hoyo, who died of a heart attack in Badajoz prison three years ago and was transferred to the prison. In 2017, the IV March was held in which Maite Sánchez, wife of Del Hoyo, and his son Peru were honored at the pier. “Three years without Kepa. VII Tallarines Contest of August 16. At this Maritime March, they call for the suspension of the criminal prison policy that is still in force and which murdered Kepa.”
Iratxeren Bidasoaldeko Lagunak ekimenak deituta, dozenaka lagun kalera atera ziren atzo Iratxe Sorzabal preso politiko irundarraren absoluzioa eskatzeko eta behingoz etxera ekartzeko, torturak salatzeaz gain.
Sare Herritarrak antolatuta, pasa den urtarrilaren 11n Bilboko kaleak bete zituen manifestazio jendetsuaren ondoren, berriz sortu da eztabaida, euskal presoei salbuespen legeriarik aplikatzen ote zaion. Gure iritzia azaltzen saiatuko gara.

See that the streets of Bilbao are full of tourists and dogs with two legs, for example? Or the changes in the political situation? The first one has tired me and annoyed me... [+]
