Gestoras pro Amnistía (Amnistiaren aldeko Batzordeak in Basque, and Commission for Amnesty in English)[1] was an organisation formed in 1979 to campaign for the release of ETA prisoners and to support their interests.
[2] Its predecessor was La Gestora Pro Amnistía, which was closed in 1977 after its demand for a general amnesty was met.
[3] After Gestoras pro Amnistía was made illegal by Spanish courts in 2001,[4] its role was taken by Askatasuna,[5] which was itself made illegal in 2002.
In 2008, twenty-one people who had run Gestoras pro Amnistía were jailed for eight to ten years each.
