About
Martutene prison, located in San Sebastián, Spain, is a correctional facility that has recently been the focus of news due to the semi-release of Soledad Iparraguirre, also known as Anboto, a former leader of the ETA. The ETA was a Basque separatist group. Anboto's semi-release, granted by the Basque Government's Justice Department, allows her to leave the prison during the week under Article 100.2 of the prison regulations. This follows a similar measure granted to another former ETA leader, Mikel Garikoitz Aspiazu, also known as Txeroki, in February. The decision to grant Anboto semi-release has drawn criticism, particularly from victims of ETA violence. The news highlights ongoing sensitivities and debates surrounding the reintegration of former ETA members into society and the application of prison regulations in such cases.
