📽️ Artist & activist Ai Weiwei (@aiww) after visiting @jcuixart in prison:"It's quite ironic that in today's #Europe there are still political prisoners. It's not an acceptable situation, it totally violates the essential meaning of a civilised and democratic society".
#Catalonia
Many people attended a meeting about the political prisoners en Catalonia held in the danish parliament. Thanks for @TxellBonet for coming. #FreeCatalanPoliticalPrisoners

Over 50,000 people have signed this petition calling for political prisoners held without charge by Spain to be allowed to take their case to the European Court of Justice. Spain is currently ignoring their Human Rights. #Democracia https://t.co/zaNMe7AlAb
On this day we remember the spirit of people past, brothers and sisters lost, communities scattered, and home lands now defiled.
Our hearts are with you #WestPapua@FreeWestPapua
Amnesty International has sent a letter to @jcuixart and @jordialapreso in prison expressing their support and solidarity with them. @amnesty will "continue to denounce this unjustifiable situation until the charges of rebellion and sedition are withdrawn," they say. #HumanRights

Yesterday Spanish Foreign Minister Josep Borrell said this about United States' pre-independence history: "The only thing that they had done was kill 4 Indians".
"KILL 4 INDIANS"
What a cruel, racist, denialist, and pathetic way to describe a genocide.
If Danish authorities interpreted the constitution as the Spanish authorities do, Ministers, MP’s etc. in #FaroeIslands would be imprisoned - for believing in democracy. Of course not happening in the Faroes - but sadly it is happening in #Catalonia. An honor to meet @KRLS again.
