  "account": "The Prosecutor's Office has filed a legal challenge on Wednesday against the recent decision by the Basque Government to expand the semi-liberty granted to ETA member Henri Parot, who is serving a sentence of nearly 4,800 years for 39 murders and other crimes. The public ministry contends that the decision by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, led by socialist María Jesús San José, to classify Parot as a third-degree prisoner, is premature and does not fully comply with legal criteria. By filing this appeal, the Prosecutor's Office has put a temporary hold on the expanded measure, pending a judicial ruling. However, Parot will continue to enjoy the most restrictive semi-liberty regime he has had since July of last year, under Article 100.2 of the Penitentiary Regulation, which allows him to be released from Monday to Friday during the prison day. So far, this semi-liberty arrangement has been deemed to have developed \"correctly\" with no reported \"incidences.\"",
  "summary": "El ministerio público considera que el acceso del preso al tercer grado penitenciario “resulta prematura” y “no se ajusta plenamente a los criterios legales”",
