Judge Rejects Freedom Program for Former ETA Leader
A Spanish judge changed prison rules for former ETA members. The judge stopped early releases and reversed previous freedoms. This affects two former ETA leaders who will return to prison.
The judge’s decision was based on existing laws about prison sentences. The prosecution challenged the Basque government’s plan for early release. This plan allowed a former ETA leader, Anboto, to participate in a semi-freedom program. Another former ETA member was also affected by the ruling. The changes aim to prevent further early releases of ETA prisoners.
