Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

This weekend, more mobilizations have been called to denounce the situation of Patxi Ruiz and to call for amnesty. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, demonstrations and gatherings will take place at different points in the Basque geography.

There are twenty-six days that Ruiz takes on a hunger strike. The prisoner made his situation known three days ago, when he sent a written letter before being hospitalized, informing him of his situation.
