A website in danger of being closed by spanish authorities

After the closing of Ernai website, another website of Basque Country may be closed by spanish authorities. According to Ateak Ireki, the website "burlataherria.org" is investigated by the "Audencia Nacional" (a special  court created to fight against basque struggle). On 2009, it was prepared a welcome to basque prisoners in Burlata (Nafarroa south basque country), and the website gave information about t
hat welcome. The website is accused of "gloryfing terrorism" and the special court requires its closing.

According to the local members of Abertzale left, this is "an attack against freedom expression". "an attack against free information, an attempt to criminalize solidarity with repressed and an attempt to silence a space where leftists and basque people of Burlata can talk".
