Haika is a socialist, Basque pro-independence youth organization outlawed in Spain but not in France. It was created in 2000 in a merger merger of Jarrai and its French counter part Gazteriak. In 2007, the Spanish Supreme Court declared it a terrorist organization linked to ETA. After it was outlawed, Haika changed its name to Segi. In 2009 representatives from Segi visited Belfast to build solidarity between the Basque and Irish movements for independence.Haika was the first Basque youth organization of a national character. It is accused of being an ETA front and a recruiting organization for the armed liberation movement. It is also accused of taking part in "kale borroka" or street fighting against forces of the state. Haika has 20,000 members and played a key role in organizing a massive general strike of 450,000 people for independence on April 10, 2001.

Groups and individuals included in TRAC's database range from actual perpetrators of social or political violence to more passive groups that support or condone (perhaps unwittingly) such violence. The spectrum of violence represented by these groups is vast, from Jihadists who bomb train stations to financial institutions that transfer funds. Some groups that originally engaged in violence but have since become legitimate political parties are included to provide historical perspective. TRAC is in no way attempting to determine whether groups or individuals are terrorists -- only to convey reported information about their activities and official State status. While TRAC attempts to ensure the accuracy of its TRAC database, the entries in the database are from numerous different sources. Hence, TRAC cannot and does not warrant the accuracy of the entries in its database. The editors of TRAC may modify these entries at any time and welcome comments and suggested corrections or additions.
