ARTICLE 19, the Global Campaign for Free Expression, is concerned at the news that Basque-language newspaper Euskaldunon Egunkaria remains unable to resume publication following its closure by the Spanish authorities in 2003, due to alleged links with the banned terrorist group ETA. Euskaldunon Egunkaria, established in 1990 as the first and only Basque-language daily newspaper, reportedly with a readership of 15,000 and widely respected throughout the Basque community, was raided by the authorities on 20 February 2003. On this occasion, documents and computers were seized, and the newspaper’s assets frozen. In addition, ten individuals who were or had been members of staff, including the newspaper’s managing director Iñaki Uria and former editor Pello Zubiria, were arrested in dawn raids and held incommunicado for up to five days. read full story / add a comment
