2 militants of ETA arrested and demonstration in Baiona

2 militants of ETA have been arrested today in Lyon (french state). According to spanish interior minister, tonight a special group of french police (RAID) have entered in the hotel where they were sleeping. Both were armed but there were not being a gunfire.

Izaskun Lesaka
One of them is Izaskun Lesaka Arguelles (37 years old and from Burlata Nafarroa south basque country) and the other is Joseba Iturbide Otortxeko. Izaskun Lesaka had been persecuted since 2004 (spanish anti-terrorism court declad her wanted) and on 2007 french court sentenced her for rebellion.

T-4 attack
Joseba Iturbide Otortxeko (35 years old and from Lesaka Nafarroa south basque country) was arrested on  2008 in Donibane Lohizune (Lapurdi north basque country). On 2010 he was judged (spanish police accused him of participating in an attack against spanish financial center in Madrid) and he was not found guilty.

According to spanish right-media, Izaskun Lesaka Arguelles is one of the leaders of ETA and she would have read the last releases of ETA.

Joseba Itubide Otortxeko would be linked with T-4 attack (where the main airport of Madrid suffered important damages on 2006). 

"Guardia Civil" have collaborated with french authorities in these arrests.

Baiona yesterday
Thousands of people supported yesterday a demonstration against High-speed train in Baiona (Lapurdi north basque country). Different social and ecologist groups called that demos. 

A lot of basque farmers are against the High-Speed train (they appeared yesterday with 107 tractors). Some of the counciliors weared french symbols so abertzale (pro-independence) counciliors weared ikurrina's (basque flags).
