Nineteen leaders of illegal Basque party jailed

8 October 2007

MADRID- AFP – A Spanish court ruled most of the leadership of the banned Basque separatist party Batasuna arrested last week over alleged links to ETA should be held in jail, a court spokesman announced.

Judge Baltasar Garzon followed the recommendation of prosecutors, who had asked that most of the 19 Batasuna leaders arrested be detained while the investigation into terrorism-related charges continued.
