SEGI is a Basque nationalist youth organization which is part of the Basque National Liberation Movement and aligned with Langile Abertzaleen Batzordeak, Batasuna and ETA.
In 2002 they were called a “terrorist” organization by Spanish National Court magistrate Judge Baltasar Garzón, and they are now banned. This was due to their strong involvement in the street violence (Kale Borroka) of the Basque Country.
They have begun a petition to demand the reversal of the decision to declare SEGI to be an illegal and “terrorist” organization. The petition outlines that the Spanish Government have "decided to brand a completely legitimate political group as terrorists in an attempt to subvert the ever present Basque national liberation struggle. We condemn this purely political act and demand that you reverse this decision".
They also campaign for the release of the National Executive of SEGI, who were arrested on a protest and are made to serve a 6 year sentence in prison.
They have international affiliations with JERC (Catalonia), Cuban Youth (Cuba), ANC Youth League (South Africa) and Ógra Sinn Féin (Ireland).
