ETA Man's Extradition Hearing Looms
The glorification of terrorism does constitute an extraditable offence, a judge in Belfast has ruled.
Ahead of a full hearing in May, the judge said Spanish authorities explained the Basque phrase "aurrrea bolie", which translates literally as "kick the ball forward" was used in many letters among Eta members as an expression of encouragement and continuity in their terrorist activities.
The same message was allegedly read out in the name of Inaki de Juana Chaos, 52, who was sentenced to 3,000 years in prison in Spain for 25 murders in the 1980s after his release.
However, he was released early in August 2008 and later moved to Ireland.
His lawyers have been told he will be sent from Northern Ireland to Spain unless they can have the extradition halted.
