Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon has vowed to fight his conviction for authorising illegal phonetapping despite the court barring him from appealing.

Spain Judge Baltasar Garzon vows to fight conviction 584193440139591191

In a statement, he said his rights had been "systematically violated" with the ruling, which saw him suspended from the judiciary for 11 years.

Hundreds of people protested in Madrid in support of the campaigning judge.

But Mr Garzon is also involved in two other legal cases and observers say he may be facing years of struggle.

The 56-year-old campaigning judge is best known for helping to secure the arrest of the former Chilean leader Augusto Pinochet in London.

In Thursday's finding, he was convicted of authorising illegal recordings of conversations between lawyers and detainees accused of paying off politicians of the now-ruling conservative Popular Party in exchange for lucrative contracts.
