The Dublin branch of the Irish Basque Committees organised jointly with the Irish
Republican organisation Éirigí to hold a picket in front of the General Post Office in Dublin's main street, O'Connell Street. The picket was attended by supporters of both
organisations as well as by supporters of the Irish Republican Socialist Party and of Republican Sinn Féin - altogether around 30. However, on a number of occasions the picketers were joined by visitors from the Basque country, swelling their numbers to around 60.


As well as visitors from the Basque country there were people from other countries passing by and many took the leaflets being handed out by the Dublin Committee, as did many Irish people. Some Spanish visitors were supportive (especially those from the North of Spain) but there were some hot words exchanged on occasion and two incidents of
leaflets being torn up by angry Spaniards.

Faced with the "trial" in the Spanish National Court.

Dear Friends,

The repression against the Basque people conducted by the Spanish State and in less degree by the French has been constant in recent years. It is easy to trace a continuous line in the preceding decades that can show us the persistence of torture, massive and arbitrary detentions, penitentiary policy of brutal consequences, halted associations and organizations, closing of news media, illegalisation of political parties and total discrimination of a sector of the population from the participation in public life. To sum up, a situation of exception that has generated a dangerous scenario of suppression of the most basic political and civil rights, a scenario that nowadays it is shown with total harshness.
