"Mr President, on Saturday afternoon once again thousands of people filled the streets of San Sebastian in a massive response to the arrest of eight prestigious members of the Basque cultural world, in what could be considered a new round of repression aimed at the two main pillars of Basque society: its language and culture. On the orders of Spain's
all those arrested are still being held incommunicado in Madrid, at the
headquarters.
Among those arrested last Thursday at 3 a.m. was Mr Joxemari Sors. When the only Basque daily
was closed down eight months ago, he wrote an open letter to the Spanish judiciary saying that the newspaper had nothing to hide, but much to reveal if called upon to do so.
The defencelessness of those working to promote the Basque language and culture clearly shows the authoritarian character of the so-called young Spanish democracy."@en1
