So it was pronounced in a June 3 order, in which it ordered the granting of an exit permit to Gorka Loran, a former member of ETA who is serving a sentence at the lava Penitentiary Center.
The National Court (AN) has ruled that forgiveness is “not a legal requirement at all” to grant consent to an ETA inmate, but rather an “indication” of a “good prison evolution” that can also be inferred from other elements.
This is how it was pronounced in a decision of 3 June, in which it is ordered to grant an exit permit to Gorka Loranoformer member of the already disbanded organization who is serving a sentence at the Álava Penitentiary Center (Euskadi) and which has a “positive assessment” thanks to the daily observation of his progression and behaviour.
In the resolution, whose magistrate Joseph Ricardo De Pradathe appeal lodged by the defense against the decision of the Central Penitentiary Supervision Chamber to refuse him an ordinary exit permit approved by the Treatment Board in September 2021 has been upheld.
The magistrates of the First Division of the Criminal Chamber have indicated that the fact that there is no document “expressing their remorse and asking the victims for forgiveness is not a legal requirement at all” to get a prison license.
“He was not convicted of any death or injury to any person”
In the Loran case, the court emphasized that: “no specific victims appear” of his criminal activities, “because he was convicted not for any death or injury to any person, but for placing an explosive device that failed to detonate, the acts being classified as attempted murder.”
According to the sentence, Loran . presented A text under your objection. “During these years I’ve been thinking and growing up, and as usual I don’t think the same as I thought when I committed those crimes,” he said.
In the text, the former member of ETA said he was aware that the organization to which he belonged “has caused many people a lot of suffering”. “A pain and suffering that I deeply regret,” he said.
“I have recently heard opinions from ETA victims who say they feel insulted and humiliated by some of the statements and actions. I will not be the one contributing to that offense or humiliation because I have empathy for the pain they are in ago and I want to do everything possible to try to mitigate and fix it,” he added.
For example, the First Division of the Criminal Chamber has pointed out that “in no way” Loran’s assignment can be judged “negatively or contemptuously”. On the contrary, “a positive critique must be made that serves to reinforce its clearly expressed position of intense search for resocialization and social reintegration.”
