Lawyer Aiert Larrarte finds it ‘absurd’ that this case remains open, because, as he emphasizes, public receptions for prisoners are ‘a matter of the past’.
Kind defends that “there is no crime” in the case opened on the occasion of the tribute to the former members of ETA and claims that it is “another case of ‘justice’ aimed at expelling the current Spanish government to put.”
Lawyer Aiert Larrartetogether with the defendants and members of Sortu management Haimar Altuna And Oihana San Vicenteheld a press conference in San Sebastián on Tuesday in which they found it “absurd” to keep this case open since, as they emphasize, the ongi etorri is a “matter of the past.”
In particular the judge of the National Court Manuel Garcia Castellón has proposed to try six people, mainly former members of ETA, as perpetrators of an ongoing crime of humiliation of victims and glorification of terrorism, by organizing 120 tributes to former ETA prisoners between 2016 and 2020.
The sentencing requests against these six defendants from Sortu amount to a maximum of nine years in prison, demanded by the Association of Victims of Terrorism (AVT), which is pursuing the private prosecution together with Dignity and Justice and the Popular Party, the lawyer explained.
The legal representative of the suspect has defended that “there is no crime here“We can like things more or less, but there is no crime” or humiliation of the victims, he emphasized.
For their part, Haimar Altuna and Oihana San Vicente have assured that public receptions for prisoners are “a thing of the past” and “a scenario that has already been overcome.”
“From the point of view of coexistence, public events to welcome prisoners have not been organized for years, because the left of Abertzale listened to the voice of the victims who took a constructive stance and because, paying attention to this, they decided in this way the prisoners themselves,” they emphasized.
According to him, this case represents “a new instance of litigation” that aims, on the one hand, to “obstruct the path to peace and coexistence in Euskal Herria” and, on the other, “to overthrow the current Spanish government.”
