Protest in Atarrabia against police violence

Angel Zudaire
Different people have called a protest today in front of the town the council of Atarrabia (Nafarroa south basque country). They are going to denounce the violence that police used during the general strike of 26 of September 2012 (supported by pro-independence trade unions like ELA and LAB). 

During that general strike, spanish police and foral police (Nafarroa regional police) attacked the people that was participating in the pickets, protests and demonstrations. The violence was especially brutal in Iruña (capytol of Nafarroa) where dozens of people were injured. One of them, Angel Zudaire (the photo on the right), has lost the vision on one of his eyes after being hit by a rubber ball (spanish police and foral police used rubber balls against people).

The assembly of injured people during the general strike ("Asamblea de Afectados del 26-S") have asked the claryfication of the events, responsabilities and the not use of rubber balls.
