Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Spanish police said today that they have arrested seven suspected members of the armed Basque group ETA, maintaining pressure on the organisation despite its recent ceasefire announcement.
The Interior Ministry said the seven maintained ties with subversive groups abroad and carried out public relations for ETA in Latin America and some European countries.
The arrests were made in the northern Basque and Navarra regions of Spain.
ETA announced a ceasefire on September 5 but the government has dismissed it as meaningless because the group has not renounced violence.
Spanish police have arrested several suspected members since the truce announcement.
ETA has killed more than 825 people in its campaign for an independent Basque state in northern Spain and south-western France.
