Soledad Iparraguirre (Anboto)

Soledad Iparraguirre, also known as 'Anboto,' is a former leader of the ETA, a Basque separatist group responsible for numerous acts of violence. She was sentenced to 793 years in prison for her involvement with the organization, including 14 murders and an attempt to assassinate the King of Spain. Iparraguirre is currently newsworthy because she has been granted semi-liberty, allowing her to leave prison from Monday to Friday and return only to sleep. This decision, made by the Basque government's Department of Justice, is based on Article 100.2 of the Penitentiary Regulations. The move has sparked strong criticism from victims' associations, who view it as a result of a political agreement between the PSOE and Bildu. They argue that it disregards the suffering of victims and facilitates the lives of terrorists. The Basque government maintains that prisoners like Iparraguirre are undergoing a process of reintegration and acknowledge the harm caused.
