Sare calls for another year of demonstrations as part of the Semana Grande in San Sebastian

The Sare Civil Network will demonstrate in Donostia-San Sebastián this Saturday the 19th to request that the exception be “repealed and all” detainees of the defunct ETA be “set on their way home with the application of ordinary law”, as he has remarked, “it’s not privileges, it’s the right that corresponds to it”.

At a press conference in Donostia-San Sebastián, Sare representatives announced the demonstration they had called for another year in the context of the Semana Grande in San Sebastianand have lamented that they “still” see “forced” to carry out this mobilization because “steps must be taken to normalize the situation of Basque prisoners, refugees and deportees”.

In this sense, they have emphasized that “the change in prison policy and the overcome a stay away policy which lasted 34 years did not mean the end of the violations of the rights of Basque prisoners”.

Sare’s representatives have denounced that “the Public Prosecution Service, supported by the National Courtcontinues to hamper the implementation of ordinary law and the process of returning home, disrupting coexistence”.

Likewise, they have noted that “to make progress in coexistence” it is necessary to “resolve the situation of prisoners, refugees and deportees”.

“To achieve this goal, we need all of you,” they stressed, calling on the public to join the demonstration that will depart from the Boulevard at 7 p.m. on August 19. 12:30 p.m hour and “launch a cry against the exception”.
