Sare convenes a demonstration on 18 June in Iruñea
- Denouncing the policy of exception that applies to Basque political prisoners and bringing together citizens who are committed to coexistence and peace are the objectives of the mobilisation that Sare organised in Pamplona on 18 June. To promote the call, the Herri Lasterketa will be held on June 4 from the Pamplona prison to the Plaza del Castillo.
On Tuesday, the appearance of Sare took place to publicise the demonstration on 18 June in Pamplona. Purpose: Condemn the exceptional measures that still apply to Basque political prisoners, as well as to the citizens who are committed to coexistence and peace.
They note that the last two years are important in terms of the situation of Basque prisoners and the exceptional penitentiary policy. "We could say that we are on the threshold of the end of the long-established removal policy, and that it is time to leave emergency legislation behind and jump to ordinary legislation." However, they stress that these changes have led to opposing behaviour and that consequently there are numerous obstacles in the way. "The exceptional penitentiary policy applied to Basque prisoners, i.e. the removal, prolongation of sentences or the imposition of long sentences almost throughout life and the barriers to going to third grade or obtaining permits, have a clear intention of hampering the steps towards coexistence and peace that are taking place in this country."
In this sense, the manifestation responds to the desire to promote the overcoming of these obstacles. "It has opened up the possibility of modifying this harsh situation that has been blocked for a long time. In the face of adverse attitudes and obstacles, we must demonstrate that this people is willing to move forward and live together. It is the responsibility of all to leave this exceptional situation behind and to allow the repatriation process. Let us therefore be active on the road to coexistence, peace and home".
The demonstration under the motto "The Road Close Home" will start at 18:00 from Antoniutti Park. An hour earlier, at 17:00, four columns from different points of the city will go there: The Vía Norte column will start from Decathlon, the Camino Sur through the Polygon Cordovilla, the Camino Este through Villava and the Camino Oeste through Etxabakoitz (Asmovil).

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... [+]
