Inaki De Juana was force fed last week but despite the warnings told by the doctors about the consequences of his decission he decided to go ahead as it's the only weapon he can use to fight the Spanish states' bid to keep him in prison for life.

There are another 10 Basque political prisoners in the same situation. All of them did their sentences to the full but the Spanish government keep them as political hostages. There are more than 100 Basque prisoners who should have been released under parole but they have been denied this right. It's time for a democratic resolution to the conflict between the Basque Country and the Spanish and French states and this measures don't help at all after ETA's unilateral ceasefire six months ago.

Support the Basque political prisoners!!
Support the democratic process in the Basque Country!!
