Judges Toss Charges Against Basque Newspaper Publishers

From the Guardian: a Spanish court has acquitted several newspaper executives accused of fomenting anti-government agitation as part of the Basque group ETA. A Spanish magistrate had closed down the newspaper Egunkaria (“The Daily”), which had been in circulation for thirteen years, in 2003, claiming that evidence suggested the paper was both funded by ETA and mouthed the party line. The losing side may appeal.
