Judge Diaz de Rabago speaks during trial at Bilbao High Court
Judge Manuel Diaz de Rabago speaks during a trial at Bilbao High Court January 12, 2009. A court in the Basque Country decided on Monday to dismiss the case against Basque premier Juan Jose Ibarretxe, PSE members Patxi Lopez and Rodolfo Ares, and four members of the illegal political party Batasuna for meeting during the ETA ceasefire in 2006. A case was opened against the politicians because Batasuna is a banned party. REUTERS/Alfredo Aldai/Pool (SPAIN)
