The dark sense that a prison gives us, the dark suffering that this cruel penitentiary policy produces, the dark crux of the distancing, the darkness that can be seen in the face of the child who has the father, mother or both in prison, the dark situation of the severely ill prisoner, the harsh and dark burden that accumulates on the backs of the prisoners and their families… All those shadows tell us that this people has not closed.
We have to illuminate that darkness. We are convinced that it is possible to take steps, they are taking steps. They are not enough until they express a clear political will. Ending the policy of removal is that all prisoners are in prison closest to their place of birth, and today this is happening in very few cases.
"We think it's time to untie the prisoners' knot and push them together in that direction," he added.
But we think it's time to untie the prisoners' knot and push them together in that direction. And as a first step, that must happen: end the distancing and end the emergency legislation that applies to Basque prisoners.
Of course! That is not the end of our struggle, because our aim is for all prisoners and fleeing to return home, because we have a people in which there are no prisoners or exiles.
Today, a vast majority of the society of Iparralde and Hegoalde considers that the return home of prisoners is necessary and beneficial for democratic coexistence. This will, which is so deeply rooted in society, has managed to open a shortcut full of lights on a road full of obstacles.
Now, it's time for the bright spot we've gained to darkness on the road back home to be fully expanded so that the path back becomes a four-lane freeway.
In the meantime, we must continue to illuminate all these darkness. The street and the activation, the dynamics that are made in the towns and neighborhoods, the educational centers, the work centers, the institutions,…
We encourage you to participate in the demonstration that we will be holding on 19 December in the prison of Pamplona. All the citizens who want to be part of the way back home to the prisoners and refugees have another important appointment. Come with us, Izan Bidea, imprisoned, exiled and deported home!

The other day I went to a place I hadn’t visited in a long time and I liked it so much. While I was there, I felt at ease and thought: this is my favorite place. Amulet, amulet, amulet; the word turns and turns on the way home. Curiosity led me to look for it in Elhuyar and it... [+]
