National assembly of Herrira

Herrira (the main basque organization/movement that fights in support of basque political prisoners rights) have organized their first national assembly in Irun (Gipuzkoa south basque country). Herrira is organized in different groups of militants along the towns and cities of all the basque country.

More than 300 of people have participated in it. Firstly, they took stock of 2012 and it was decided which is going to be the program for the 2013. That according to Herrira, the main objective of that program is going to be "reach a social agreement to overcome the exceptional measures" against basque prisoners. They are going to promote the tools of appropriate sensitization. 

There is going to be more pressure (doing more efforts in basque country and other countries) to the different governments with the objective of ending with the exceptional measures. Besides, there have also decided other two objectives:

1. Ensure the assistance and solidarity with prisoners, exilis and their relatives. Not only economic, also emotional, material etc.

2. Continue organizing and strengthen the "Herrira" movement as "participatory, large and plural". In addition, based on local autonomy of each group.
