Spain: Two New Political Prisoners Mobilize for María José Baños

Several political prisoners in the Spanish state have launched weekly solidarity fasts to support and demand the release of María José Baños Andújar, a seriously ill anti-fascist prisoner of the GRAPO. The prisoners come from diverse traditions and political affiliations: Victoria Gómez (prisoner of the GRAPO – Anti-Fascist Resistance Groups of the First of October), Juan García (prisoner of the PCE(r) – Reconstituted Communist Party of Spain), Israel Torralba (prisoner of the GRAPO), Nacho Varela (prisoner of the GRAPO), Daniel Pastor (Basque communist prisoner), Patxi Ruiz (Basque prisoner), Israel Clemente (prisoner of the GRAPO), and Fernando García Jodra (Basque prisoner).

Recently, imprisoned rapper and activist Pablo Hasél and Basque prisoner Andoni Goikoetxea Gabirondo announced they were joining the movement. Meanwhile, activist Marcos Martín Ponce began an indefinite hunger strike on February 23, demanding, among other things, that María José Baños be transferred to the hospital by ambulance, while supporters are calling for amplified international mobilization for her release.
