Activists from the newly formed Ógra group in Fermanagh were out on the streets recently to show solidarity with members of the Basque pro-independence youth Group SEGI, who were arrested by Spanish authorities at the end of November. Fermanagh Ógra held this protest, which included a banner drop and the distribution of hundreds of leaflets to call for the release of these activists.
Fermanagh Ógra spokesperson Chris Conwell had this to say,
“The Basque youth activists are guilty of no crime, and are being imprisoned for their political beliefs. No where else in Western Europe would this be tolerated. Ógra Shinn Féin stands in firm solidarity with the Basque youth movement at this difficult time, and will ensure that the issue continues to be highlighted.”
