Spain Police Clash With Basque Separatist Protesters
Spain Police Clash With Basque Separatist Protesters
MADRID, Jan 7 Spanish police clashed on Saturday with Basque separatist supporters at a demonstration in northern Spain on the day that the body of a man killed by a car bomb blamed on ETA guerrillas was flown home, Reuters reported. Thousands of separatist supporters held a sit-in in the Basque town of San Sebastian to demand the release of ETA prisoners. A planned rally was banned by Spain''s high court. "Independence!" and "Let the prisoners out!", supporters shouted. Some of them threw missiles at police and set rubbish bins and a car on fire. Police hit back with their rubber truncheons. source: mediafax

Re: Spain Police Clash With Basque Separatist Protesters
I always wonder how they chose which car to set on fire. I also wonder about the person who owns the car...

Re: Spain Police Clash With Basque Separatist Protesters
Just for the record, it wasn't the Spanish [national] Police but the Ertzantza, the Basque [autonomous] Police.
Ertzantza  Policía Nacional
