Arantza Zuleta is the last Basque political prisoner in preventive custody in the Spanish state. She is imprisoned in the mega-trial against solidarity with the prisoners. Her defence denounced that two appeals have been rejected and that “there is no legal reason” to keep her locked up.

Paco Etxeberria and Jonan Fernandez presented on the morning of the 27th June the preliminary conclusions of the Project of investigation on torture in the Basque Country 1960-2013, in which they have elaborated a provisional census of 4,009 people tortured. The Protocol of Istanbul was applied to 202 people, which has served to give veracity to the complaints.

The attempts of sectors of the Spanish Judiciary to hide the use of torture over the confrontation period has peaked over the last months, to the arrest of torture denouncers, we have to add an attempt to censor Judge de Prada, whom, despite of being a serving Judge in the Audiencia Nacional recognised in April that ” Torture has taken place in a clear manner, and I have many cases of a strong suspicion of torture to which the courts haven’t given response as should be a State of Law”.”

After the positive evaluations made by Gure Esku Dago, promoter of the referendums, as well as by Independentistak Sarea, which made a campaign for “Yes”, yesterday was a day to analyse with repose some results which denied the irrelevancy in which some wish to confine the referendums and which leave many points for reflection.
