Gestoras pro Amnistía (Amnistiaren aldeko Batzordeak in Basque, and Commission for Amnesty in English)^[1] was an organisation formed in 1979 to campaign for the release of ETA prisoners and to support their interests.^[2] Its predecessor was La Gestora Pro Amnistía, which was closed in 1977 after its demand for a general amnesty was met.^[3]

After Gestoras pro Amnistía was made illegal by Spanish courts in 2001,^[4] its role was taken by Askatasuna,^[5] which was itself made illegal in 2002.^[6] Since then this role has been taken by Senideak, which later changed its name to Etxerat.

In 2008, twenty-one people who had run Gestoras pro Amnistía were jailed for eight to ten years each.^[7]
