| Spain Frees Convicted ETA Terrorist After Court Ruling |
| 2013-10-23 |
| [Ynet] A Spanish court has ordered released a convicted terrorist after a top European human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... court ruled that her rights were violated. Ines del Rio Prada was sentenced in 1987 to a total of 3,828 years for multiple terror attacks carried out by the armed Basque group ETA. She had been due for release in 2008 but Spain's courts ruled her sentence reduction was applicable only to her full sentence, and not to the 30-year maximum period she could be kept in jail under law. The European Court of Human Rights ruled in del Rio's favor Monday and Spain's National Court heeded the decision Tuesday, ordering her release. |

| #1 In Spain, the maximum life jail term is 30 years. It makes nonsense of the sentence of 3,828 years but that is the way it is... I wonder how the family of her 82 victims feel? |
