The Public Prosecutor's Office opposes the Basque Government's decision to extend the semi-liberty of the ETA member Henri Parot
The public ministry considers that the prisoner's access to the third penitentiary degree "is premature" and "does not fully comply with legal criteria".
The Public Prosecutor's Office has filed an appeal with the Judge of Penitentiary Surveillance of the National Court against the recent decision by the Basque Government to extend the semi-liberty regime enjoyed by ETA member Henri Parot. Parot is serving a sentence of nearly 4,800 years for 39 murders and other crimes. The prosecution considers the decision to grant Parot a third-degree penitentiary classification "premature" and not fully in line with legal criteria.
The appeal has a suspensive effect, but Parot can continue to enjoy a more restrictive semi-liberty regime that allows him to leave prison from Monday to Friday.
