Trade unions join in Bilbao to call for another prison policy
- The unions ELA, LAB, UGT, ESK, Steilas, LKN, CNT, EHNE, HIRU and Etxalde have concentrated this Friday in Bilbao to call for the cessation of the activity of eta.
Sindikatuen elkarretaratzea. Argazkia: ELA
The major unions in Hego Euskal Herria have joined in the initiative for the rights of prisoners and resumed mobilizations against COVID-19. ELA, LAB, UGT, ESK, Steilas, LKN, CNT, EHNE, HIRU and Etxalde have advocated "another penitentiary policy to bring all Basque prisoners closer within a reasonable time". The concentration was held at 11:30 hours in Plaza Moyua in Bilbao.
Among the changes requested, they have stressed that these are "urgent" measures such as the rapprochement of all Basque prisoners to the "prisons of Euskal Herria", the release of the sick and elderly and the "change of grade and access to the prison benefits provided by the ordinary penitentiary legislation, without any discrimination". All of this, in the opinion of the trade unions, should be targeted "towards exclusion" from the emergency legislation.
