Gesto por la Paz (Spanish: A Gesture for Peace) was a peace movement that was active in the Spanish Basque Country between 1985 and 2013. Gesto had its roots in an intitiave sponsored by the Catholic Church. It staged tens of thousands of protests over the course of its existence and had as many as 175 local chapters by the 1990s. Biscay was its stronghold. It included supporters from most of the Basque political parties, aside from Herri Batasuna and the People's Party of the Basque Country. ETA was its main target, but it also protested against the use of extrajudicial violence and torture by the Spanish state. It also campaigned against the Spanish government's policy of dispersing ETA prisoners to prisons throughout the country, arguing that they should be housed closer to the Basque Country.
