The following statement is an appeal from our Basque comrades Segi who are demanding that we take action in highlighting the ongoing censorship and outlawing of the youth movement, we must mobilise and show solidarity with our oppressed comrades now!

Youth United in Struggle!

Hi comrades,

We send you this e mail to inform around the last step in the judicial process against the youth organizations Jarrai-Haika-Segi. we attach one presentation of our work and motivations. Today 16 of November the special court of Spain is making a review of the cause opened against our work on 2001 with the illegalization of Haika. They want impute us like a terrorist organization, which was not possible in the regular judicial process because they cannot demonstrate an organic relation between us and ETA.

The sentence had condemned our militants for 2 or 3 years of prison, but they were no ingoing because all of them had complete its sentences like preventive prisoners. But the Spanish government always finds or creates new tools to go ahead with the repression against the Basque liberation movement.

Now they have take in care the appeal petition of one fascist syndicate calls Manos blancas and which don’t represent nobody to try to become our condemns higher even between 10 and 12 years with the argument that the people who is working for Segi have the judicial definition of terrorist groups directors.

It is a new attack against one political organization which tries to develop our social political and cultural tools to build a new kind of society. And it is heavier because it happens when we are trying to build a new scenario for democracy and peace in our country.

We call you to support Segi and to say stop all this kind of attacks against young organizations. We know a lot of you have had the same problem, and we think that in the international area is very important help each others.

We want do a public demonstration of this international denunciation of illegalization and repression of youth movements, is the same here or in Czech like what was happened with the comrades of KSM , MKLP in Turky, DTP in Kurdistan or the comrades of Amanca in Sardinia.

We will do this press conference in 15 days. we call all of you to support this declaration sending support mails to our mail address [email protected], and to do solidarity actions in your countries. Inform us about your acts to these mails.

We call to the international press to inform around what is happening here.

Thanks,

SEGI
