Spain's longest serving prisoner is closer to a pardon. Manuel Pinteño has been in jail for 32 years
Spain’s longest serving prisoner is now a step closer to being granted a pardon.
Manuel Pinteño, a 51 year old man from Elda, Elche, has been in prison for a total of 32 years after being found guilty of theft and several attempts to escape justice. He has been serving time since the age of 19.
The sentence indeed seems harsh given that he has shown no blood crime nor has been convicted of rape or any sexual crime, and if the pardon is not granted he faces remaining behind bars until 2056.
Under the Spanish justice system if he was serving only one term, he could not spend more than 30 years in prison, but in this case he has three separate 18 year sentences.
Now the same judge who handed down one of the sentences after Manuel took part in a prison riot, Luis Segovia, has studied the case and declared he supports and will apply for a pardon. He noted that in the prison riot Manuel had calmed down his fellow prisoners after a prison officer died in what were three days of riots in the Foncalent jail.
Now Manuel, who is the father of seven, has to wait for the pardon hearing to be officially heard in court.
MANUEL PINTEÑO FREE NOW!!!
INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY!!!!!

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une
Politique éditoriale
, qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an
