On 19 January, Xua will be three years old and according to Spanish law, she will no longer be able to live in prison with her mother and daughter.

The Gipuzkoa General Boards have approved the request of the Xua Gurasoen Etxera and Sare platform for the right to decide.
Xua, who was born in the Valencian prison of Picassent, meets the child and his two parents in jail. At 600 kilometers of the family, visiting is a trip of 1,200 kilometers.
The parents of Xua, Olatz Lasagabaster and Patxi Uranga have no blood-related crimes and have served 10 years in jail, more than three-quarters of the sentence. Both, in application of the ordinary legislation of the Spanish State, had to be granted conditional release.

In the case of Xua Lasagabaster, Elkarrekin Gipuzkoa is clear that we are dealing with a special case that reminds us of a situation and a dark moment that made too many people suffer.
