    Outlawed Batasuna plots next move
    San Sebastian last night saw angry crowds in the streets as the last of the offices of Basque political party Batasuna was closed down by the local Basque police,

    Acting on orders from Madrid. The action ended the party's existence, police going in through the windows after party workers refused them entry

    Batasuna has angered many Spanish politicians by its refusal to condemn ETA bomb attacks.

    The party denies any links with the terrorist group, and has called on its supporters to occupy party offices to avoid closure by the authorities.

    Do you agree with the decision to ban Batasuna? Or could the move backfire and lead to more violence? Should similar bans be attempted in other countries?

    Has Spain done the right thing,
    is this the way forward?
    . This is a War On Terror.!!As Bush said, "You're either with us or with the terrorists." .Are they?



    Or is this the behaviour of a bannana Republic, ..Banning a political party we would expect to see in some dictatorship. It is a gross violation of peoples rights, political and individual liberty?
