Soledad Iparragirre (Anboto)

Soledad Iparragirre, known as 'Anboto,' is a former leader of the Basque separatist group ETA. She is the daughter of an ETA member and was involved in storing explosives from a young age. Iparragirre was convicted of terrorism-related offenses and sentenced to nearly 800 years in prison, linked to 14 murders. She was also the voice in the 2018 announcement of ETA's dissolution. In March 2026, Iparragirre was granted semi-liberty by the Basque government, allowing her to leave prison during the day and return only to sleep. This decision has sparked outrage from victims' groups like Covite and Dignidad y Justicia, who view it as an affront to justice. Her release highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the treatment of former ETA members and the reconciliation process in the Basque Country.
