:: Handing over

HANDING OVER In 1979, the French state started putting into practise the handing over of Basque exiled and political prisoners to the Spanish police, and nowadays it is the usual procedure. Hundreds of Basque fighters have been handed over to the Spanish police or the Guardia Civil and many of them are today imprisoned in Spanish jails.


NO PREVIOUS INDICTMENT IS NEEDED

DETAINED IN PRISONS

A handing over or administrative expelling does not need a previous indictment. It usually takes place with prisoners immediately after they have served their time, sentenced by French courts, and not having any open procedure against them, they are detained inside the French prisons a few minutes before they are freed.
