Prisoners have reported that they have closed the communication modules due to the lack of vigilantes of the Prison. They say that their lawyers have no access, that their glasses have been removed from them with their partners or relatives, and that libraries, sports clubs, schools and culture halls for leisure have been closed.

"The objective is clear - it can be read in the note - that jailers, instead of starting a real strike, have subtracted prisoners from the minimum conditions to be able to enjoy the struggles they can carry out and the media and political repercussions that the riots will have. Instead of putting the burden of responsibility on jailers, it's about making them available to prisoners." They have also denounced that the prison leadership has joined that of the jailers. "In addition to justifying and supporting this covert strike, while eliminating minimum conditions for prisoners, they are allowed access to working materials and kept in production. This makes it clear what the role of the prison leadership is, that instead of ensuring conditions for prisoners, they keep the profits of those who are enriched with their exploitation."

The following political prisoners have sent a letter denouncing this: Jon Kepa preciado Izarrak, Jesus Mari Etxeberria Garaikoetxea, GARIKOITZ Etxeberria Goikoetxea, Beatriz Etxeberria Caballero, Lola Lopez Resin, Julen Atxurra Egurola, and Orkatz, Irantzu and Lexgaluri Galuri. "Those who work in the most vile trade, honoring their infamy, have not had the courage to organize a real strike, and have launched themselves into a shield," he said. "But, more in violation of prisoners' rights and living conditions, they want us to get out and get out, for their trade union benefit. If they wait to 'help' our hijackers, those who fight against us day and night for fascism, corruption, laziness or laziness, they have a party. We will not dance to the son of the evil jailers. We will know when and how to start dancing the sword.

The Aske organisation, for its part, has called to denounce and combat all violations of rights suffered by Basque political prisoners "on the way to the fight for amnesty". In this regard, they appeal to participate in the march organized for 28 December in Basauri prison.

"Workers are gradually returning to their jobs"

Benito Aguirre, director of the Álava Penitentiary Centre, reported on Friday that the suspended services are gradually recovering. "This is how they have been during the month of December due to a situation of temporary incapacity and the recovery has started after a reorganization and the incorporation of ten people from the stock exchanges."

In an appearance before the media, Aguirre pointed out that it is expected that this Friday prisoners will contact their relatives and that the addition of 22 more people on Monday will generate normality in leisure time, education, training, work that allows prisoners to have financial resources…

The director of the centre has expressly thanked the professionalism of the workers who continue in their jobs and has not valued the negotiations between the Department and the trade unions, as he has recalled that it is his responsibility to guarantee the rights concerned.
