Another hunger strike occurred from November 2006 until March 2007, it ended after he was moved from a hospital in Madrid to one in his home region of Gipuzkoa.
The Spanish justice system has a policy called remission, which states that time can be deducted from a prisoner's sentence for exhibiting good behavior and for other factors.
As de Juana could only legally serve thirty years in prison, with his earned remission being subtracted from the sentence, he should have been released in October 2004.
To stop de Juana from being released, the Prosecutor's Office charged him with making terrorist threats, using letters sent to the newspapers (Gara and Berria).
[8] In November 2006, de Juana was sentenced to twelve years and seven months for allegedly making terrorist threats in two articles of opinion and he resumed his hunger strike.
[11] On 2 March 2007, the Spanish Government made the decision to essentially demote de Juana to house arrest due to worries over his health.
This decision was criticized by the major conservative party, Partido Popular, who denounced the move as an agreement between government and ETA, and an encouragement for future prisoner hunger strikes.
[12] On 1 March 2007, de Juana ended his hunger strike after 114 days,[13] after being moved from Madrid to a hospital in the Basque Region.
This time he was protesting a decision by the Prosecutor's Office of the National Court to place a lean on an apartment which his wife owns.
Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero said De Juana Chaos "generates a perfectly understandable feeling of contempt" among all citizens "and of course the head of the government".
[17] A warrant was issued by Interpol as a Spanish judge wanted de Juana to answer charges that he was "glorifying terrorism."
