Members of the banned Basque separatist party Batasuna (Unity), (L to R) leader Arnaldo Otegi, Pernando Barrena, Rufino Etxeberria, Olatz Danobeitia and Juan Jose Petrikorena, sit before their trial 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)
