SATURDAY AFTERNOON IN BILBAO

Citizens of Basque left nationalist movement call for new rally

02/24/2007

Spain's High Court judge banned Friday a rally called for Saturday in the Basque city of Bilbao by the Pro-Amnesty Movement, as he considered rally callers have links with the outlawed organization Askatasuna.

Several citizens of the left nationalist movement called for a new rally, to take place Saturday afternoon in the Basque City of Bilbao with the slogan "Hitza eta erabakia, lurraldetasuna eta aministia" ("Word and decision, territoriality and amnesty").

The rally will substitute the rally banned by Spain’s High Court judge Baltasar Garzón, who considered the rally callers had links with the outlawed organization Askatasuna.
