This could be an image, song, film or poem to appear on our website, or to be printed on a postcard or something similar. We're open to ideas.

This month, a Canadian court refused to hear a habeas corpus writ to challenge the continuing detention of Basque refugee Iban Apalaoza Sancho and the state's plans to deport him to Spanish jurisdiction. The court ruled that the country's Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not apply to residents in Canada who are not citizens. Iban is now on hunger strike in protest and the 17th has been set by the Canadian authorities for his deportation. The Dublin branch of the Irish Basque Committees called for support for protests it plans for the same day. read full story / add a comment
