🚨 More than 3500 people have suffered state repression in Catalonia since the 2017 referendum. Police brutality, judicial proceedings, millionaire fines, and seizures of bank accounts. Spain keeps on violating #HumanRights
✍️ SIGN TO END THE REPRESSION

La justícia ha de ser independent. Si no ho és, no és justícia. Compareu les dades entre els tres països i entendreu moltes coses. La independència judicial és la gran absent de la justícia espanyola.
Avui comença un judici contra dues persones que no han comès cap delicte, només pel fet que m'acompanyaven a mi. L'aporellos ordenat pel rei continua, amb la complicitat imprescindible del Govern (sí, el del diàleg). Tot el meu suport i agraïment a en Xavier i en Carles.
Avui, al Parlament Europeu, he demanat a les institucions europees que no es deixin enganyar: els indults són una operació de maquillatge del govern d'Espanya. Un govern, un Estat, que segueix perseguint i reprimint centenars de persones.
🌍 250 political representatives from all over the world sign a Letter on Amnesty to ask Spanish PM @sanchezcastejon to promote an amnesty for all those prosecuted in Catalonia in relation to the 2017 referendum on self-determination. Repression must end!

⚠️ For the third year in a row, @Amnesty has included the imprisonment of @JCuixart in its annual report “The State of The World’s Human Rights”. In its analysis of Spain, Cuixart’s case is highlighted as the most worrying one in the section Freedoms of expression and assembly 👇
⚠️ Alexandra Louis, General Rapporteur for #HumanRights Defenders of the Council of Europe, has included the case of @JCuixart in her report "The situation of HR defenders in the CoE member states", being @Omnium's president the only human rights defender imprisoned in the EU ⬇️
Three Catalan MEPs are facing the waiver of their parliamentary immunity, as Spain is repressing them for defending the democratic right to self-determination

If you care about human rights, copy, paste, tweet this message & #DefendCataloniaSaveEU
#PART1 If next week, the plenary of @Europarl_EN votes to remove the immunity of Catalan MEPs, it will be a scandal. Democratically elected by the people, the MEPs have been “guilty” of striving peacefully within political parameters that are accepted in the rest of democratic EU
If you are wondering what is happening in Spain and why there are so many issues connected to exercising fundamental freedoms, I will give you three examples that will make it easier for you to understand that there is a structural problem.
Hallo @swsjoerdsma, wist je dat vandaag in #Spanje de rechtszaak is begonnen tegen academici die op 1 oktober 2017 deel uit maakten van de kiescommissie? Hun misdaad? Toezicht houden op verkiezingen!

We roepen EU burgers op, @Europarl_EN leden te vragen, tegen het opheffen van de inmuniteit van de #Catalaanse MEPs te stemmen.
Doe mee aan de #DefendCataloniaSaveEU campagne van @assemblea international.

‘What is the point of repeatedly hitting people with the baton who are surrounded by agents, with a wall behind them and with their hands raised?’ A question from @centre_IRIDIA to the police in Madrid last night.
