Solidarity Protest For Arrest of 46 Basque Political, Social and Cultural Activists

Ógra Shinn Féin are organising a solidarity protest against the constant oppression this Saturday 8 December @ 4pm at the GPO in Dublin.


Last weekend 46 Basque political, social and cultural activists were re-arrested and imprisoned by the Spanish authorities despite being granted bail in March. They face 527 years and 6 months imprisonment for daring to mobilise for Basque Independence.

The enormous oppression and torture that is currently being directed by the Spanish Government is harping back to the days of Franco. Despite the huge efforts of a 'censored' and 'outlawed' Batasuna for peace, these undemocratic and human rights abuses clearly demonstrate that the Spanish are not sincere in their calls for peace in the Basque Country.

Please come along to show solidarity with the oppressed people of the Basque Country!

Jo ta ke!
