Basque premier Juan Jose Ibarretxe (R) speaks to Jone Goirizelaia (L), lawyer of the Basque "Izquierda Abertzale" (left-wing nationalists), next to members of the banned Basque separatist party Batasuna Arnaldo Otegi (2nd R) and Rufi Etxeberria at Bilbao High Court January 12, 2009. A court in the Basque Country decided on Monday to shelve the case against 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 because Batasuna is a banned party.REUTERS/Alfredo Aldai/Pool (SPAIN)
