Martutene

Martutene is a prison located in San Sebastián, Spain. Recent news focuses on the application of Article 100.2 of the Penitentiary Regulations, which allows certain prisoners to have a semi-liberty regime. Specifically, Soledad Iparraguirre, also known as 'Anboto,' a former leader of the ETA (Euskadi Ta Askatasuna), a Basque separatist organization, has been granted this regime. This allows her to leave the prison from Monday to Friday but requires her to return to sleep there. The Basque Government's Department of Justice and Human Rights confirmed the authorization. Her release, even in this limited capacity, is a significant event given her past role in the ETA and the ongoing sensitivities surrounding ETA's history and victims. The presence of supporters outside the prison upon her release highlights the continued relevance of this case within the Basque Country and Spain.
