There has been a large demonstration in Bayonne in the northern Basque Country calling for the release of several Basque prisoners in French jails.

A strident campaign has been ongoing for some months calling for the release given the changed circumstances in the southern Basque Country and the ETA ceasefire.

Those imprisoned have served long jail terms in one case 28 years. Politicians have joined the protests.
