Protest in support of basque prisoners

A protest will take place at seven o'clock, Wednesday 15th outside the Spanish embassy in support of the basque prisoners currently incarcerated in French and Spanish goals, and in particular to highlight the recent deaths of two basque prisoners, Igor Angulo and Roberto Sainz.

The Spanish embassy is located on the Merlyn park road, just off the Merrion road, Ballsbridge.

Organised by Ógra Shinn Féin Átha Cliath.

We are organising this protest to highlight the inhumane treatment of basque prisoners, who are dispersed to some eighty French or Spanish goals, many miles from their home. At the moment there are over seven hundred basque prisoners.

A number of basque prisoners have been killed by the prison authorities over the years. Many more people have been murdered by armed police on the street. Two prisoners, Igor Angulo and Roberto Sainz, both recently died under suspicious circumstances while in prison.

Ógra Shinn Féin supports the basque's people's right to national self-determination, and their right to resist foreign rule.

We call on all people to support this campaign.
If you cannot attend the protest please write to the Spanish ambassador to inform him that the Irish people are aware of the human rights abuses in the basque country, and that we oppose his government's illegal occupation of a foreign nation.
His address is 17A Merlyn Park, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.
