Pro independence banned Basque party Bat

Pro independence banned Basque party Batasuna representatives Pernando Barrena (L) and lawyer Jone Goirizelaia (R) give a press conference, 08 October 2007, in the northern Spanish Basque city of San Sebastian. A Spanish court ruled 07 October 2007 that 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.
