Aitzol Gogorza, sick, released from prison and sentenced at home
- Orereta's has spent 20 years in jail. The young person, who suffers from severe mental illness, has been transferred on several occasions to a hospital for treatment. For years they have been campaigning for Gogorza to return home. He had been in Basauri prison since 2012 and on Tuesday, after some formalities in Martutene, he was transferred to the hospital in the Guipuzkoan capital.
Counsel has pointed out that this is an "intermediate stage" and that he is expected to be transferred to his home in a few days. You must comply at home with the remaining penalty and wear a telematic bracelet.
As indicated, you will only be able to leave home when necessary to go to the therapy or doctor's office.
EH Bildu has called for "like Gogorza, seriously ill prisoners to leave jail" and not jail. Julen Arzuaga has endorsed Errenteria ' s decision to serve the sentence at home and has called for the same criterion to be applied to all sick prisoners.
SARE, in a statement, reported that it "takes for good the decision to bring Gogorza home." "This has been possible thanks to the work carried out in the town of Orereta, especially by the citizens, agents and institutions, as soon as they became aware of Aitzol's disease". They have recalled that there are 20 other Basque political prisoners with serious illnesses and that "work must continue to be done to ensure that they are treated and returned home sooner than later".
On 7 April, International Health Day, Sare called to fill the bridges of the peoples in favor of the return home of the seriously ill.
What surprised you the most when you left jail? I've been asked many times in the last year and a half.
