| Ertzaintza arresting Maitane |
According to topatu, the three young militants accused of being members of Segi (a basque young pro-independence and socialist organization) were arrested after the demonstration against the repression of basque young movement in basque country.
Relatives, friends and people protected them while they were chaining themselves to the "Maria Cristina" Hotel (Donosti Gipuzkoa south basque country). After that, Ertzaintza (basque regional police) appeared with anti-riot material and arrested them. The three young asked people for being peaceful so that there were not riots or more injured people.
Arkaitz Anza, Maitane Linazasoro and Xabier Lujanbio decided to hide after the sentence of spanish justice against them (imprisonment for 6-6.5 years). Segi was a young organization of basque country with hundreds of militants in different villages and towns. Spanish justice outlawed it on 2003 and on 2007 consider it terrorist. After that, more than 200 of basque young militants have been arrested, tortured and imprisoned.
Eleak (the movement in favour of basque social and political rights) have denounced the arrests. According to them, the struggle have not finished and there are another three youngs close to being arrested. Video of the demonstration and the arrest:
