‘Carmen' was arrested in Pau on the 25th October 1999, in the final stages of the last truce, when she recruited activists, according to the conviction by the Correctional Tribunal of Paris who imposed an eight year sentence, which ended on 28th October 2005.
Over the past few weeks, ‘Carmen' has remained in the Paris prison of Fresnes, awaiting extradition on Tuesday, two days before the annual Franco-Spanish summit in Paris, where French President Jacques Chirac and Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero will meet.
