At least 13 suspected members of the Basque political youth group SEGI have been arrested in raids this week.
SEGI is classified as an illegal organisation in Spain and is considered to be the youth wing of ETA or at least a "recruiting ground" for the organisation. Most commentators consider SEGI to be little more than a political youth group who are supportive of ETA and Basque Independence.
All of the suspects were in their early 20's and are to be transferred to Madrid for questioning.
Basque separatist group ETA is currently on ceasefire however the Spanish government is thus far refusing to negotiate with the organisation.
