	Green Left - Herri Batasuna leaders arrested
		Herri Batasuna said the arrests were “political revenge perfectly orchestrated by the Madrid government”.
		According to several news agencies, citing sources from the National Court, the police operations are based on an investigation by Garzon of the so-called terrorist organisation KAS-ETA (KAS is the political organisation that coordinates the various underground Basque national liberation organisations of which ETA is the armed wing).
		The Spanish interior ministry is presenting Xaki as “the international apparatus of ETA”; and claims that Martinez, coordinator of the international section of Herri Batasuna's executive board, and Elena Beloki, Herri Batasuna's representative in Europe, are the “leaders of Xaki”.

	Batasuna
		Batasuna ("Unity") is a Basque political party based mainly in Spain but with a French presence, which is presumed to be associated with the Basque separatist armed group ETA.
		Another important member of Batasuna is Jose Antonio Urrutikoetxea[?], alias "Josu Ternera[?]", main leader of ETA between 1987 and 1989, and accused of a number of homicides like the massacre of 21 people at Hipercor[?] (shopping center in Barcelona).
		Batasuna appointed him, between 1999 and 2001, as its representative in the Human Rights Commission of the Basque Parliament[?].

	The Crisis in the Basque Country (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The outlook for ETA and Herri Batasuna is now bleak as the French government actively pursues ETA, depriving it of the base it once had in the French Basque country.
		Herri Batasuna gets about 12 per cent of the vote, which might decline in reaction to the viciousness of Blanco’s killing.
		Herri Batasuna does not seek allies, as it divides society rigidly into supporters and opponents, neither of whom needs to be consulted.

	Designation of Batasuna, Euskal Herritarrok and Herri Batasuna under Executive Order 13224
		Today the Secretary of State is amending the designation, under Executive Order 13224 on terrorism financing, of Basque Fatherland and Liberty, known as ETA, to add the group Batasuna and its two predecessor groups, Euskal Herritarrok and Herri Batasuna.
		The action to amend the Executive Order 13224 designation of ETA to include Batasuna, Euskal Herritarrok, and Herri Batasuna is based on substantial and credible information from a variety of sources that those entities were formed at ETA's direction and functioned as part of ETA.
		Batasuna, Euskal Herritarrok, and Herri Batasuna have supported ETA's acts of terrorism.

		Herri Batasuna, a political party recognized as the legal political arm of the ETA -- Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (Basque Homeland and Freedom) -- the armed organization that has been fighting since 1959 to gain independence for the northern Basque region from the Spanish government of Madrid.
		Herri Batasuna is the Basque region's second largest party, and its representatives are members of the Basque parliament.
		Although instrumental in the defeat of Francisco Franco during World War II, Basque political organizations, and in particular Batasuna, were never able to secure the full independence of the Northern Atlantic provinces of Spain from the central government.

		Herri Batasuna was a new political party that emerged to directly support ETA.
		In 1979, three Herri Batasuna party members won deputy's seats and one member won a seat in the senate in a parliamentary election, but all refused to take the positions bases on Batasuna's principles.
		Since then, Herri Batasuna has continually gotten 15% to 20% of the Basque vote, but the elected always refuse the seats.

	Basque nationalism undermined by ETA , by Barbara Loyer
		In the broadcast Herri Batasuna said it was giving airtime to those who offered a real alternative for peace and democracy and a way out of the present political conflict and violence.
		Since Herri Batasuna refuses to sit in the Parliament, the Basque nationalists are faced with the possibility that a coalition could elect a non-nationalist speaker at the next regional elections in October 1998.
		By contrast, the relatively calm reaction to the recent imprisonment of Herri Batasuna leaders by the Supreme Court in Madrid, which would have been unthinkable a few years ago, shows the extent of public disillusionment with that party.

		The political group Herri Batasuna, which now has begun calling itself simply Batasuna, is the political arm of the ETA.
		Now, Batasuna has been left in the hands of the most radical members and is more in favor of the ETA than ever.
		And the fact is that the ETA and the PNV, even though they are not the same, are the head and the tail of a nationalist project whose enemy is Spain.

		Batasuna had received 10 percent of the vote in the Basque area in the last election and has about 1,000 local elected officials.
		Batasuna members already in office will be allowed to serve out their terms.
		It's interesting that many in the British press, however, describe Batasuna's relation to ETA as something like Sinn Fein and the Irish Republican Army, and warn that it is a mistake to try to outlaw such a party.
