The policies that the Spanish government applies to Basque political prisoners brought them to the European summit. Although political prisoners are legally considered as common prisoners and have the same rights, all Basque prisoners are staying in jails outside the Basque country and are kept in jail after they have served 3/4 of their sentence. The Spanish government is also violating prisoners' fundamental rights through provocation and torture. They are not allowed to speak in Basque, participate in sport or continue their studies . Medical attention is almost non-existent . Transfers from one jail to another, from one block to another, are frequent and constant.
