Basque parents seek support from the authorities for their sons and daughters abused and tortured by Spanish police. The mothers and fathers of the 34 young people snatched during the massive Spanish police operation against Basque youth last November have transformed their agony into into energetic campaigning. Although they have no connection to one anohter other than their shared anguish, they have joined their voices, going from door to door of the authorities to tell the story of their hardship. Included in the allegations of Spanish police torture of the 34 youth are those of special sexual humiliation and threats against the 14 young women among them. They ask for only one thing: the protection of the authorities so that no more families have to endure what they did. read full story / add a comment

So, GAAW will hold a fundraiser for these women groups in Woodquay’s Rowing Club on Friday 5th March starting at 9pm. Admission to this ceili/disco is only €5.

"Our parents were too frightened to challenge the status quo. A lot of that was because of the power of the church, but now that's tumbling then maybe this is our time. We can't keep on pointing the finger, we've been really, really placid, using pubs as health centres for self-medication. This is a huge opportunity. We are a young, well-educated people and this is our pivotal moment."
