Liberty on parole for women accused of terrorism glorification and humiliation of ETA victims
Today, Judge Joaquín Gadea of the National Court has decided to release two women who were arrested by the Police on charges of terrorism glorification and humiliation of ETA victims. However, this freedom is not absolute, as they have been subjected to a series of precautionary measures.
According to consulted legal sources, both women will have to appear periodically in court and provide a fixed address. These measures were imposed after a complaint was filed by the Union of the Navarrese People (UPN) regarding the messages posted on social media by the accused, in which they allegedly expressed support for the now-defunct terrorist group, ETA.
It is important to highlight that despite the National Court Prosecutor’s request for unconditional release, the reinforcing judge of Instruction Court number 6, Joaquín Gadea, decided to establish these precautionary measures.
When appearing before the judge, both women invoked their right to remain silent, as reported by the same sources. This case once again demonstrates the importance and impact that social media posts can have, even when it comes to expressions of support for terrorist groups.
