Cassandra Vera


   ETA is a terrorist organisation which, demanding independence for the Basque Country, murdered 820 people between 1959 and 2011, being the last European terrorist group to declare the ceasefire. In 1973, during Franco's dictatorship, ETA assassinated the President of the Government Luis Carrero Blanco by blowing his car up.

However, in 2016 Cassandra was condemned to one year of prison accused for enhancing of terrorism, Spanish which is a crime included in the Spanish Penal Code. However, some weeks ago the Supreme Court absolved her. So, is it okay to mock about terrorism victims, regardless of their political ideology?
