Since we were transferred to Euskal Herria from the prisons of the Spanish State, in the prison of Zaballa we have found many deficiencies in the field of communication. We have fewer and shorter face-to-face contacts, we have had to make visits to the speaker in poor technical conditions, and in terms of telephone calls, as well as being too expensive, we have to use devices that are badly placed, outdated and damaged. We have asked the jail several times to adapt the situation and have made the fool every time.
There has been a new widespread breakdown in loudspeakers already halfway over the last month. Only four out of 28 newsstands have been available in some way. During these weeks, we have repeatedly asked the prison to resolve the breakdown. Useless. It has only offered us cheap excuses. No solution, no alternative.
As of 13 September we began a strike of announcements to ask the Zaballa prison to resolve once and for all the broken loures in order to be able to make visits in dignified conditions.
Last weekend we approached the speakers and for the fourth time we found ourselves in the same situation, there we refused to visit it by a number of Basque political prisoners. Some family members and friends demanded to meet a prison officer on the road to the outside and, after talking to him, complained about the situation in writing.
All prisoners have a fundamental right to relate to our fellow human beings, and Basque political prisoners, moreover, have a close relationship with citizenship, is fundamental. We have to make that relationship in dignified conditions and we cannot allow visits to take place under the conditions we have in Zaballa.
We have been bogged down in jail and fog, and that is why the Basque political prisoners who signed this letter want to announce that as of 13 September we will begin a locutionary strike to demand that Zaballa prison finally resolve all the broken loures so that we can make visits in dignified conditions.

On August 26, I woke up as if it were a normal Monday, I rose from bed and, with my arms overflowing, I woke up. But as soon as I got to the hallway, I knew that that wasn't one of those monotonous, heartless Monday forever. I found my parents in front of the computer reading the... [+]
Kursk is a historic region of Russia. He lived in peace until 6 August, when the Ukrainian army entered the city. About 15,000 men entered. Hundreds of tanks, armoured vehicles, artillery pieces, air defense radars… the most modern weapons that exist today, brought from all... [+]

The main feature of my basketball team is its personality. It is usually said that this is a common characteristic between the team and the hobby. However, this identity of all amateurs is not taken into account from the management. In fact, Euskaldunes fans see again and again... [+]

It is not easy to understand what is happening in Catalonia. Certainly. We can end the 2017 process, but it remains to be seen whether independence will be able to start a new process of liberation.
If independence had been maintained in most elections, there would be another... [+]
We have been with the "summer snake" over the TAV for a few weeks and with the possibility of linking the "Basque Y" from Pamplona, from Ezkio or Vitoria.
It is disappointing to see that our People continue to depend on decisions concerned and not supported by the galgos and... [+]
