- Amnesty International: human rights must play a central role in the talks in the Basque Country:
“The truth needs to be established on all the human rights violations and abuses committed in the past. These should include allegations of killings/extra-judicial executions of people believed to be members of ETA by members of the illegal group entitled Grupos Antiterroristas de Liberación, (GAL) and the possible collusion by the State, as well as other human rights violations including torture and ill-treatment.”

- One of these detainees spent two years in jail despite having an irrefutable alibi, which was in the hands of the Ertzaintza, but which they did not send to the Spanish Audiencia Nacional.
