Spain: María José Baños Secures Release Thanks to Mobilization

María José Baños Andújar, the anti-fascist prisoner held by GRAPO, has been granted a suspended sentence, in accordance with Article 104.4 of the Spanish prison regulations. This paves the way for her imminent release to receive urgent hospital care due to her critical health condition. Aged 61, her health has severely deteriorated, notably due to HIV at stage C3 and a 69% disability.

This decision follows a solidarity and mobilization campaign led by various groups and political prisoners across Spain. In particular, fellow prisoner Marcos Martín ended a 16-day hunger strike, while other political prisoners continue their protests until their release. Supporters of María José Baños Andújar emphasize that this decision is a victory for collective mobilization, but also for the determination of the political prisoner who refused to be blackmailed into recanting. They call for the struggle to continue until her effective release and that of all other political prisoners still incarcerated.

Spain: Two New Political Prisoners Mobilize for María José Baños

Several political prisoners in the Spanish state have launched weekly solidarity fasts to support and demand the release of María José Baños Andújar, a seriously ill anti-fascist prisoner of the GRAPO. The prisoners come from diverse traditions and political affiliations: Victoria Gómez (prisoner of the GRAPO – Anti-Fascist Resistance Groups of the First of October), Juan García (prisoner of the PCE(r) – Reconstituted Communist Party of Spain), Israel Torralba (prisoner of the GRAPO), Nacho Varela (prisoner of the GRAPO), Daniel Pastor (Basque communist prisoner), Patxi Ruiz (Basque prisoner), Israel Clemente (prisoner of the GRAPO), and Fernando García Jodra (Basque prisoner).

Recently, imprisoned rapper and activist Pablo Hasél and Basque prisoner Andoni Goikoetxea Gabirondo announced they were joining the movement. Meanwhile, activist Marcos Martín Ponce began an indefinite hunger strike on February 23, demanding, among other things, that María José Baños be transferred to the hospital by ambulance, while supporters are calling for amplified international mobilization for her release.

Spain: María José Baños Andújar Facing Medical Negligence

An anti-fascist prisoner of the GRAPO, María José Baños Andújar is in a critical state of health after several decades in prison. She needs a liver transplant and specialized care that she will only receive after her release. The prison administration not only denies her this care, but has recently restricted her access to essential medicines, thus accelerating her deterioration. This neglect of her health is not an isolated incident. It is part of a systematic policy towards political prisoners, where the denial of medical care becomes a tool of repression, as illustrated by the cases of Lucio García Blanco and Mónica Refoxos Pérez. In order to denounce this situation, her supporters are calling for letters to be sent to the director of the prison where she is being held (text and address here).
