Iñaki De Juana Chaos has reacted to, what he describes as, "the unacceptable press campaign and intoxication and pressure" on himself and his family," by going back on hunger strike.

The former leader of ETA's notorious Madrid cell was responding to the news that the High Court has ordered the embargo of a flat in San Sebastián where De Juana was planning to live following his scheduled release on August 2nd.

Formerly owned by the De Juana family, the flat now belongs to De Juana's girlfriend. It is alleged that the couple conspired to prevent the property being seized and sold off to compensate De Juana's many victims.

This will be third 'indefinite' hunger strike staged by De Juana over the last two years. The first began on August 7th, 2006. and lasted 63 days. The second started less than a month after the first one ended, and continued for a further 115 days.

De Juana is serving the final weeks of a three year sentence for making non-terrorist threats in a newspaper article written in jail while serving 18 years of a 30 year sentence for 25 murders committed in the name of the Basque separatist cause.
