A poster has appeared throughout the basque territories for an event to be celebrated on the 21st of January 2006 in Barakaldo (Vizcaja) called by the illegalised party Batasuna.

Batasuna are the political wing of ETA, and spanish lawyers argue incessantly over how far the ban on one effects the other and where the line between "Terrorism Law" and "Right to Association" is to be drawn.

Lets put it this way, other than journalists or spooks, not many people will go this gig who aren't supporters of Batasuna (and therefore ETA). But they do like to split hairs. & accordingly when the association of victims of terror in Spain, (which mostly represents victims of Basque seperatist violence) pointed out that in the poster there is clearly visible the "logo" of ETA, they called for the Spanish high court to ban the meeting.

poster in question.

And Batasuna for their part, as disinginous as ever, decided to protest the talk of a ban by declaring that the logo isn't ETA its "World Health".

Oh yes, ETA just shares the WHO logo, and wants all the basques to be healthy.


leave it to our peers in the (((i))) network to discuss it :-
