Spains longest serving prisoner goes on hunger strike after he is moved to new prision: "Miguel Montes Neira, considered to be the longest serving prisoner in Spain, having to date spent 34 years behind bars for concurrent crimes (none for violent crimes) has started a hunger strike to protest his impending transfer to a Huelva prision, where he has no family connections.
The prisoner, who has been serving a prison sentence since October 7, 1976 by a score of cases, was admitted for two years in prison in Jaen II, where he arrived from the prison of Granada, but a week ago was sent to Huelva, just as his defense and his family were preparing to order a recount of his time in prison to the court prison supervision.
Neira Montes, 60 years old, asks to be set free due to the length of time he has spent, or at least in the meantime, whilst his parole is considered, to be transferred to the prison in Cordoba
, where his daughters live."
